A Claim of Her Own

Determined to put the unspeakable circumstances of her past behind her, twenty-year-old Mattie O'Keefe travels to Deadwood, South Dakota, in search of her brother, whose letters boast of making a fortune in the gold fields.

Once in Deadwood, Mattie is soon convinced that gold mining will be the key to her future happiness. When a handsome street preacher speaks out against storing up treasures on earth, Mattie turns a deaf ear...until circumstances force her to decide for herself where true riches lie -- and what's worth dying for.

Stephanie Grace Whitson, bestselling author and two-time Christy finalist, pursues a full-time writing and speaking career from her home studio in Lincoln, Nebraska.

My Review:
If you enjoy historical Christian fiction, this is indeed a good book to read. I admit to having a special interest in it since I live in South Dakota!
A wide variety of characters and an interesting plot kept me reading all day and into the night. I loved that two of the main characters are strong, determined women.
If you have a "to read list", you should add this book to it.
