Beyond the Ashes: Golden Gate Chronicles 2

Before the National Park novels…
My love of bringing history to life continues in Beyond the Ashes, the second book in the Golden Gate Chronicles. Set amid the rebuilding of 1906 San Francisco, this story explores some of my favorite themes—faith, resilience, second chances, and finding hope in unexpected places.

Where better to rebuild and face one’s fears than in 1906 San Francisco, a city rising from the ashes? Ruby Marshall, a young widow, is certain she’ll discover new purpose assisting her brother Robert with his cancer research, but she doesn’t anticipate finding new love.

Dr. Gerald Larkspur dreams of filling his empty home with family, but he’d always hoped it would be a wife and children. In the aftermath of the great earthquake, the rooms are overflowing with extended family and friends left homeless by the disaster. When Robert’s widowed sister arrives, the close quarters seem close indeed.

Ruby and Gerald’s fledgling romance is put at risk when Gerald develops symptoms of the very disease they’re striving to cure. Together they must ask—is it worth a second chance at love when time might be short?
