I felt affinity with the main characters and their real-life experiences including falling in love and all its ramifications; having some ambitions fulfilled and others thwarted; being trapped; being blackmailed, threatened; living through an earthquake; and surviving sibling quarrels. In many novels I have read, I was merely an observer. In this story I was a participant. -Sophia W., Actress, L.A. Brandt has crafted a giant of a romantic thriller. It has unique characters, a stimulating plot, authenticity, and many twists and turns. -Thomas H. Neely, Wallace Stegner Fellow, Author: Ghost Horse Strong people drive a complex story that runs from California's Lake Tahoe and Deadman Pass to Reno's corporate boardrooms, casinos, and University. As each person pursues his or her destiny, the pages keep turning. -Eddy Starr Ancinas, Author: Tales of from Two Valleys -- Squaw Valley & Alpine Meadows This is a story for our times. It's a thriller, for sure, for both women and men, but it has beautiful, lyrical prose here and there that gives the book wings.

They don't change their stripes. The plots are realistic and don't stretch the reader's credulity. The author's vocabulary is varied and strong. -Pat, L., Travel Agent, Chicago Reading through the 400] pages from the Prologue and the Endnote, I was struck by the silent role the characters' DNAs (family backgrounds) played in the development of the characters. That added nicely to the novel and raised it another notch above excellent in my mind. -Dr. Jane R., M.D., Sacramento, CA This is a helluva saga! The author had me hooked with a most clever first chapter I've read in a long time. It was straight ahead for me after that, with great character development--especially the central woman, Greta. The story had so much authenticity about tender yet powerful love, gold fever & prospecting, ambition, and the geography where the novel takes place. In addition, Brandt's business management background shines through in the details about the Sadler's family corporation and the new attempt to turn it 'into a winner, again.'
