Philippa's Gold
Free Book - "Philippa's Gold"
by: Jennifer Patton
After a tragic loss, Philadelphia artist Philippa Stuart Sutter must decide whether to return to the safety of her parents’ home or forge a new life in San Francisco during the Gold Rush period. Her passion for her art inspires her to blaze a new frontier, yet supporters of her striking painting technique are not always loyal. She discovers that shadow and light are easier to define on canvas than in life.
Laden with rich characters engaged in stimulating encounters, Philippa’s Gold is a lively story that depicts the enthusiasm and struggles felt by fortune seekers in Northern California during the 1850s. Molly Gorman seamlessly weaves in intriguing interactions with historical figures such as John Sutter, Collis Huntington and William Tecumseh Sherman to help color Phillippa’s self discoveries.
