描述
Maude must fend for herself in the mining town of Eldorado when her mother dies and her father's "gold fever" inspires him to take off for the Yukon. Her strong desire to leave the frontier town and become an artist makes her take a job in a boarding house, where she forms special friendships that will help her achieve her dream. "A spirited adventure with deftly drawn characters, well-integrated period details, a lively and sharply focused style, and a memorable heroine." -- Kirkus Reviews
