Gold? Seriously? Brad and Kristen are on a family trip when they suddenly find themselves flung into the past.... again. This time, even their careful preparation and research can't help them, and it's only by sheer luck that they realize they've stumbled into a 'golden' opportunity-and the first discovery of gold in North America.When they learn that the land-owner, Reed-who doesn't yet know about the gold-is considering selling his farm, Kristen and Brad do what they can to dissuade him from this plan. And they succeed.Problem solved, right?Wrong. That's where the kidnapping comes in, and Kristen and Brad are separated, each accompanied by one of Reed's children.As usual, adventure and danger are in the mix when the Everhearts are on one of their time-travel experiences.
