Newly orphaned children of immigrants, Lucy and Sam are suddenly alone in a land that refutes their existence. Fleeing the threats of their western mining town, they set off to bury their father in the only way that will set them free from their past. Along the way, they encounter giant buffalo bones, tiger paw prints, and the specters of a ravaged landscape as well as family secrets, sibling rivalry, and glimpses of a different kind of future.

Full of Chinese symbolism submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on July 5, 2020, 7:15am During the American gold rush, two orphaned Chinese-American siblings are on the go, trying to find a home. They encounter adversity but also glimpses of a different future. A poignant exploration of memory, family, and belonging. TOUCHING.

Haunting submitted by flemingj on July 5, 2021, 8:38am This book is more like a 5 star read for me, but you need to be prepared for the darkness of this story. The main characters are strong, but it is disheartening to read about everything they have to do to survive.
