Beskrivning
Set in the rugged landscape of Bodie, California in 1880, a young girl named Angeline Reddy navigates the trials and tribulations of a mining town at the height of the Gold Rush. Through the pages of her diary, Angeline's vivid observations paint a picture of a community marked by both fortune and hardship. She reflects on the complexities of friendship, the challenges of growing up in a male-dominated world, and the secrets that people often keep behind their masks.
As Angeline chronicles her daily experiences, readers are drawn into the rich tapestry of life in a place where dreams can be struck down as quickly as they can be realized. Her encounters with a diverse cast of characters—from fellow miners to the resilient women of Bodie—reveal the strength of community and the spirit of survival that defines this unique era. Angeline’s struggles and victories resonate with anyone who has faced their own obstacles on the road to self-discovery.
Through her heartfelt entries, Angeline emerges as a voice of resilience, providing insight into the hopes and fears of a girl finding her way amidst the chaos of a tumultuous time. Susan Patron’s masterful storytelling invites readers to explore the depths of human experience, making this diary a poignant reminder of the enduring nature of courage and the quest for identity.
