Description

There might be gold in them thar hills, but curmudgeonly San Francisco business tycoon Caden Caldwell treks to Alaska in a fit of rage looking for his free-spirited son, Colt, who has struck out for the Klondike Gold Rush.

What Caden finds is something else altogether. Orphaned children. Wayward women. Quirky prospectors. Tlingit Indians. Isolated with this motley crew when early winter weather hits, he has no choice but to re-evaluate his life in ways that terrify yet intrigue him. Will he ever be the same? Does he want to be? There is hope that Caden Caldwell might strike it rich in ways he never imagined.

Advance Praise

Set in the raw Klondike region of Alaska in the late 1800s, Gold Mountain is the story of 52 year old Caden Caldwell. Caldwell leaves the comfort of his luxurious San Francisco home to fetch his wild, womanizing son, to return him to the family business which has made his father one of the wealthiest men on the west coast. But when Caldwell is beaten and robbed in the snow of Alaska, he finds himself without the clout of a rich man and must seek help simply to survive. That help comes through a cast of characters that teach him love for things other than money. Caldwell opens his heart to hope- and finds a new life of friendship and caring.
