Yesterday's Gold

Hannah Gilmore is about to be married to a member of one of Victoria, B.C.'s notable families. But first, she's promised to take her mother, Daisy, to Barkerville, the historical site of a B.C. gold rush, to search out the resting place of an ancestor. But the trip becomes impossibly complicated when her mother invites her difficult friend, Elvira, along--and insists on bringing her incontinent dog.

¿¿¿And then a bridge collapses-

And suddenly Hannah and her irritating companions are in Barkerville. But it's 1868, the height of the Cariboo gold rush. They have to accept accommodation from a saloon keeper named Logan McGraw, a mysterious, handsome man who fought in the American Civil War, and who has a secret agenda for being in Barkerville.

¿¿¿ Hannah and her companions quickly learn that women have no rights in this time and place.

But stubborn, intrepid, and imaginative, they set out to bring a semblance of women's liberation to the primitive and harsh conditions, always hoping to return to their own time.

¿¿¿ Hannah was about to be married--but now she's falling in love with another man---

Logan is accused of murder, which means he'll hang.

And everything goes according to plan--just not the one Hannah expects.
