Everyone has dreams. The discovery of gold in California drew people from all over the world. They rushed there in hopes of acquiring the wealth that would allow them to realize their ambitions. From its very beginning, San Francisco attracted those looking for a new way of life. It has always been a place where dreamers are welcome, and expressions of love are encouraged. In this extraordinary and emotional love story, Jasper Langley, Royal Dawson, and Adeline Hart are irresistibly drawn to one another. Getting to California in 1849 was a long and arduous expedition with no guarantee of survival. Once there, the real journey to achieving one's dreams began. The strict social doctrines of the east coast didn’t apply to early San Francisco. The city teemed with restless dreamers and fortune seekers. Many died. Most went broke. Achieving the dream is never easy. Contrary to fevered expectations, the streets weren’t paved with gold.
