DESCRIPTION

The gold rush is on and a tight-knit group of rough-and-tumble miners fill their days chasing fortunes and their nights with story and song. When an orphaned infant is thrust into their lives on Christmas Eve, their carefree existence is turned topsy-turvy and they discover that the greatest wealth sometimes comes in surprising packages. Heartwarming and hilarious! Filled with traditional folk music and carols!

By Norman Allen, inspired by the stories of Bret Harte.
