Weaving history and fiction, Sterling recreates Aspen, Colorado, in the 1880s in her hymn of praise to the proud, unsung heritage of this remarkable mountain town. The feisty heroine, early known to territorial miners as aLittle Emmaa when she traveled with her Circuit Judge father, marries an abusive and ambitious man. A great silver strike in the Pearly Everlasting mine leads to escalating violence and a final confrontation of man and wife in the mine itself. European immigrants, Ute Indians, Civil War veterans and the whores on the notorious aRowa come vividly to life.
