(2) YA In this graphic novel, a search for gold leads to devastation for one family and potential salvation for its descendants. Intriguing linked tales alternate focus between Josey, who lives on a farm in Nova Scotia in 1859, and Tara, who inhabits the same land in 2009. Larson flips gracefully back and forth between time periods, embellishing her realistic black-and-white cartoons with mystical touches.
