In Search of Gold

Gold is a harsh taskmaster, but true love endures forever.

Sarah Rohmeier fell for David Latshaw the first time she saw him when she was only fourteen years old. Even her parents’ disapproval couldn’t change her mind. Mama said his father was a drunk, and the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. But Sarah loved David and couldn’t imagine being married to anyone else. When she was seventeen, he finally asked to come calling, and she knew she’d be his forever.

David was fifteen when he fell in love with Sarah, but he felt inferior around her family. He’d never be good enough for her, but he promised to give her everything she wanted. His dream was to make her happy. Someday, he’d be as rich as her Grandpa Atwood, even if he had to trudge through a deadly wilderness to reach the Alaska Gold Rush.

He also promised he’d never leave her, and he didn’t in his heart. But he’d do anything for her, even if it meant spending a year away seeking his fortune then landing at death’s door.

Can their love survive the test of separation? Will David lose everything before he realizes happiness comes from a heart in service to God? When will he understand he’s searching for false riches while the true gold his heart craves has been within reach all along?

Experience Sarah’s and David’s marriage as they waver in the loss of their dreams and the harsh reality of a long distance relationship without God as their center. Watch them grow through joys and heartbreak of life and love during the 1890s.
