Hardened beyond his nineteen years, Todd Webster Morgan is determined to find gold high in the Sierra Nevadas. But his dream is violently upended. Complicating matters even more, he meets a young Chinese immigrant named Lao Jian, whose own dreams of finding gold have been quashed by violence. But life back in Sacramento isn't any easier. Todd's mother struggles to make ends meet. His invalid uncle becomes increasingly angry. Todd seeks employment with little success. Meanwhile his friendship with Lo Jian turns to love. But their relationship is strained as anti-Chinese sentiment grows. Todd vows not to lose Lo Jian. The couple must risk everything to make a life for themselves. A life that requires facing fear and prejudice head on. Won Gold Medal in the 2012 Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Awards and was a Finalist in the 25th Annual Lambda Literary Awards.
