The Secret Valley

The Secret Valley by Clyde Robert Bulla. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781887840705.

The Davis family is unhappy with life in Missouri. So they decided to strike out for a new life in the rich gold fields of California. In no time theyve packed everything they own, even their kitten, Nugget, and are ready to make the long journey west. There are mountains and deserts to be crossed, plenty of rousing campfire songs, and even Indians along the way. And finally, California! But life in the crowed tent city of prospectors is harder than they thought. And soon, with little gold to be found, the Davises decide to leave. With the help of a good friend, the family discovers that gold can be anywhere...and that true happiness is waiting in a secret place where their dreams have room enough to come true.
