But, did you know that a gold mining company operated in Norwich, Connecticut during the mid-1850s?

His discovery, which coincides with the magnificent celebration of the town's 200th anniversary of its founding, reignites a sense of opportunity and optimism among locals. When Travis and his friend, Lydia Stedman, search for more gold, they find several of his tribe's relics.

Travis and Lydia learn of love, their heritage, and of the charm of mid-nineteenth century Norwich in this historical fiction novel.
