Extended description

Exum, a free black man with a town of his own in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, longed for the beauty of the women he'd known in the South -- young and spry with skin the color of syrup. But it's 1849, and while gold runs free in California, slavery's manacle still chokes the South. There was only one man Exum could trust with his moneyand the task of going south for a woman -- Solomon Hawk.

"..I'll go," Cassie Lee volunteered, and stepped forward from the band of slaves to snatch the promise of freedom from the stranger's hand. Cassie Lee didn't know where she was going or what she would find but she knew California had to be better that the enslaved South. And the adventure begins!

"This novel is a riveting story of one woman's rise to success and the two men who inadvertently helped her find independence through self-acceptance and perseverance. Even if you're a fast reader,you'll want to savor this newly minted but priceless literary treasure. Congratulations, Ms. Gunn, for intro..
