After the death of their mother in 1896, adult twins Peter and Samantha head off to find their missionary father. Last seen outside Skagway, Alaska, the man hasn’t written home in two years.
Samatha is chagrined when her entrepreneurial brother spends all her college savings to outfit a trip on a ship headed to the Alaskan Gold Rush.
Then she discovers the third “musketeer” of their childhood–and an erstwhile yet hapless suitor–joins their journey.
When all their supplies are dropped off on a cold beach in Skagway, the three musketeers discover their trip is far more than they bargained for.
And where is the twins’ father?
The novella features the astonishing and true story of how a missionary’s sermon provoked an exodus of prostitutes.
Including historic figures and real-life events, the Gold Rush Christmas is also a fun coming-of-age tale.
Readers also discover the anguish of twins going their own way after completing the task.
And is the boy next door that bad?
