""Seeds of Hope." One of the best stories that I've ever read. A very descriptive and accurate tale written by Kristiana Gregory about the Gold Rush. Susanna Fairchild and her family have been traveling at sea towards Oregon for many months. Susanna's pregnant mother was thrown overboard during a storm. Suanna is now traveling with only her sister and father. Soon afterwards, President James K. Polk announces a discovery of gold in the mines of California. After hearing the news, dozens of dozens of families head towards California for a chance to strike it rich. Father decides after much thought and consideration to search for gold in California in order to regain the money that they have lost. At first, Susanna and her sister just want to go to Oregon, but they decide to stick together as a family and head for California. But the word "gold" is stronger than what anyone had ever imagined. Kristiana Gregory tells true hardships during the Gold Rush through a fictional character. Susanna Fairchild's story may be fictional, but Kristiana's story-telling will keep you hooked on the book."
