In the fourth and final installment of The Georgia Gold Series, the Randalls and Rousseaus rebuild their lives following The War Between the States. Reconstruction-era Georgia tests the metal of half-Cherokee Mahala Randall, newly married into Jack's shipping family in shattered but proud Savannah; and Dylan and Carolyn Rousseau, who battle the memory of Dylan's brother, the debt and drought-cracked earth of their upland farm, and the lure of lost Confederate Gold.
