Since coming to California, Corrie Belle Hollister's life has been marked by change and growth. And now with a new mother to care for her brothers and sisters, Corrie is free to consider the future. She longs to be a journalist, to serve God with her writing, to become a woman of the truth.   
  
But the truth can be elusive, especially as it leads her into what has always been a man's world. In her quest to become a newspaper reporter, Corrie finds herself in the rough and tumble towns of the gold fields--alone. The closer she gets to the truth, the more severe the opposition. Corrie discovers a conspiracy of deception that means danger not only to herself but to her family.   
  
The trails are unfamiliar, and the truth beckons her on--but is it worth the risk?

Now that her siblings are provided for, Corrie convinces a newspaperman to take a chance on her as a journalist. Soon, she is on her own in the rough and tumble towns of the California gold fields. In her quest for the next human-interest story, Corrie uncovers a dangerous conspiracy. The truth beckons to her, but is it worth the risk?
