Olivia Brighton knows she's going to have to live with her decisions for the rest of her life. Her brother in San Francisco is her destination. Her guilt and a vow never to marry again. Joseph Sawyer is immediately smitten with her. San Francisco has turned into a lawless gold town with danger around every corner. An anonymous benefactor wanting to take over the city puts Joseph in danger. Will Olivia change her mind with God's help and Joseph's patience? Can they figure out who's behind all the evil happening in San Francisco? Can they save their city during a gold rush? Is there a chance Olivia will become THE GOLDEN BRIDE?

Kimberly Woodhouse blends the other three books she's written for the Daughters of the Mayflower series into this book by revisiting the past lives of Olivia Brighton's female relatives from THE MAYFLOWER BRIDE, THE PIRATE BRIDE and THE PATRIOT BRIDE and her own mother through the journals that her great grandmothers wrote. She uses them to help her find the way through the guilt to the love of her life. You can feel these character's connection to each other and to God. I'm anxiously waiting for the next installment in the Daughters of the Mayflower series.
