Can Olivia survive the crime and Gold Rush fever of 1849...and the countless marriage proposals? A series for fans of all things related to history, romance, adventure, faith, and family trees. The Daughters of the Mayflower series continues when Olivia Brighton finds herself widowed and working her brother's restaurant in San Francisco during the height of the rush for gold. Even though she receives at least twenty marriage proposals a day, she will never marry a gold miner. Her brother's friend Joseph Sawyer has gotten caught up in local politics and the plight of Chinese in forced labor. The more Joseph gets pulled into investigating crime in the city, the less Olivia sees of the compassionate man. And just when she thinks she could love again, a fire threatens to steal all hope.

Olivia Brighton knows she shouldn't have married her husband, after only knowing him for only one day. Just six weeks later, she killed him.
They were headed for San Fransisco to sell the miners, the stockpile in their wagon and then he was seriously thinking of trying his hand with gold mining. But instead, his harping, nagging wife killed him and buried him where he lay.
Meanwhile, it's up to Olivia to get her loaded wagon and two onery horses to San Fransisco, to her last living relative-her big brother Daniel. Daniel owns his own restaurant and hopefully, he will give her a job, far away from any miners and feed and house her until she can save up some money to get her own place.

San Francisco has been known for its periods of corruption. This was true during the time of the great Gold Rush, a very dark time in the city's history. The living conditions in tent communities was undisciplined and unhygienic. Prices of goods were unbridled. Human trafficking abounded, along with every manor of vice. Swindling and thievery were commonplace. This is the environment that Olivia Livingston Brighton, a young widow, found herself in as she sought her brother and his protection. Daniel Livingston, a Christian, honest businessman, and restaurateur, along with his best friend, Joseph Sawyer, also a Christian and an owner of a gold mine, worked diligently to improve conditions in their city, and to spread the truth of Christ. Olivia was welcomed into their lives and eagerly joined their efforts. Each of them were willing to sacrifice their lives in these endeavors.
The Golden Bride is the latest installment in the Daughters of the Mayflower series. Readers will be happy to reflect on previous characters as Olivia is inspired by the words of her ancestors, Mary Elizabeth Chapman and Faith Lytton Weber, as she reads their journals which have been saved and passed down through generations of her family. Kimberley Woodhouse has given us another treasure to enjoy and truths to embrace within the covers of this book. I am happy to have received this book from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review and received no monetary compensation.
