Description:
In 1843, a baby is left on the doorstep of Rose Sommers and her brother Jeremy, who live in the British colony of Valparaiso, Chile. Rose names the baby Eliza and raises her as part of the family. When Eliza falls in love with Joaquin Andieta, one of Jeremy's delivery boys, news of the gold in California has just reached Chile. Joaquin, caught up in the popular fever, sets out to make a fortune up north, leaving behind Eliza, now pregnant with his child. Spirited and with a mind of her own, Eliza leaves her home in Valparaiso and undertakes a dangerous sea voyage to San Francisco in search of her lover. What she finds instead is adversity and adventure, and through her own resourcefulness, an even more momentous journey to independence and freedom.
