The Golden Van Dorens Nicole Strycharz

Malcom Van Doren made his fortune in the California Gold Rush of 1849. By 1853, he spent it all, drowning in debt, and returned to his mine out of desperation. Steadily, over the years, he went mad. Known for his lunacy, when Malcom claimed to have discovered gold a second time, no one believed him... not even his family. Too paranoid about his creditors to prove his finding, Malcom Van Doren told everyone he hid his fortune away. Now, in the year 1880, twenty-seven years after his second discovery, his daughters are each as desperate as he once was for wealth. All of them, for different reasons; revenge, love, or greed. Three sisters battle to discover their dead father's gold, but only one will win this race as their own little gold rush ensues. God help the man that stands between a Golden Van Doren and all that glitters. **Note to the Reader: The Golden Van Dorens has sexual and violent content that is not advised for sensitive readers or readers under 18. This book is a work of historical fiction, and because the period predates the modern era, there are slang words and stereotypical slurs used by certain characters. These sometimes-negative terms do NOT, in any way reflect the feelings or beliefs of the author. They are purely historically accurate language flaws or depictions of the time.
