Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Mary Volmer Dear Reader, I invite you to entertain a captivating new perspective on American history through my novel, CROWN OF DUST, which explores gender, identity and redemption against the backdrop of the California Gold Rush. In CROWN OF DUST, Alex, disguised as a boy and on the run from her past, stumbles into the ramshackle Gold Rush settlement of Motherlode. She hopes for a meal and a bed for a night. She does not expect to find friendship in Emaline, formidable proprietor of the Victoria Inn, or to fall in love with David, one sober face in this outcast community of prospectors. Nor does Alex expect to strike gold. When she does, buried secrets are revealed, the past begins to catch up to all of them, and the lives of those she's grown to love become as threatened as her own. If you have any questions or comments about the book please feel free to send me an email at maryvolmer@gmail.com.
