It’s Gold Rush-era America, and Lee Westfall has a valuable secret.  She can sense gold deep in the earth.  The buzzing in her veins whenever it’s near is a valuable skill for gold-hungry pioneers.  When her gift costs her everything she knows and loves, she disguises herself as a boy and heads west in search of gold, safety, and love.  Walk on Earth a Stranger is the first book in the Gold Seer Trilogy.  (Oklahoma Sequoyah Award, 2017)
