Title: Tara’s Gold Author: Lisa Harris Publisher: Heartsong Presents ISBN: 978-1-59789-537-8
Tara Young is hoping to find some gold that her Aunt Rachel, a Civil War spy, told her about. So she volunteers to go to Iowa to be caregivers to her elderly great aunt and uncle. She no sooner arrives in town when she’s accosted by a drunk, and has to be rescued by a stranger.
Aaron Jefferson is a government agent investigating the gold allegedly hidden somewhere near the small town. He and Tara keep running into each other as they search, but each wants to find the gold on their own. Will they find the gold they seek, or something worth far more?
Tara’s Gold is the second in the historical Iowa series started by Lena Nelson Dooley. Readers will want to read the books together as they tie into each other, even though they are written by different authors. The third book in the series, by Laurie Alice Eakes is due out in 2008.
Tara and Aaron are realistic characters, and I couldn’t help falling for Tara’s eccentric aunt and uncle. Tara, being a city girl, has a lot of adjusting to do to small town farm life, but that just makes the book more fun.
Historical readers will not want to miss Tara’s Gold. Available now. 170 pages. $4.95 pages.
