Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Still reeling from the death of her mother, Harriet sets out on a dangerous journey - disguised as a boy, since no "petticoats" are allowed on the trip - determined to find her missing father in the gold fields of British Columbia's Cariboo. The journey itself is incredibly difficult, and Harriet still has to find her father before the winter snows close down the entire Williams Creek area. Will she be able to find him, or will her journey be for nothing?
"Overland to the Cariboo, 1862"
Harriet must travel across the harsh, unwelcoming country disguised as a boy to try to find her father.
