Book 2002

Uprooted from her Southern home during the Civil War, Rosa Coleman settles in Philadelphia. Eventually she marries a man of leisure, whose compassion quickly turns to cruelty. But when that cruelty is inflicted upon their only son, she picks up and flees with the boy across the uncivilized Western frontier--and into Alaska to start a new life among the region's gold mines.
