When eighteen-year-old Mariah found herself pregnant and unmarried in her small Colorado town, she disappeared. One year later, she returned with a baby--though minus the "husband" who had conveniently ventured off to Alaska's gold fields to seek his fortune.... But now, with handsome adventurer Wes Burrows turning up and claiming to be the husband she had invented, Mariah's lies become flesh and blood--and her wildest dreams a reality
This is a story set in the late 1800's about a young woman and her grandfather who make up a story about a husband gone off to pan for gold in Alaska to cover up her pregnancy. The problem with this is the grandfather got the name of a real person in Alaska, who eventually receives the letters of the little boy and comes to Colorado to give the boy the father he wants. It was a quite believable story. A glimpse into the lifestyles of this era and a bit of a glimpse into the beer brewing business of this family.
