How much of these hills is gold
(Large Print)

Ba dies in the night, Ma is already gone. Newly orphaned, Lucy and Sam, ages twelve and eleven, are suddenly alone and on the run. With their father's body on their backs, they roam an unforgiving landscape dotted with giant buffalo bones and tiger paw prints, searching for a place to give him a proper burial. Along the way, they must battle their own secrets, the illusion of the American Dream, and each other. Set against the twilight of the Gold Rush in a reimagined American West, How Much of These Hills is Gold is a sweeping adventure story, an unforgettable sibling story, and the announcement of a stunning new voice in literature. With fiercely original language and a story that is both epic and intimate, C Pam Zhang has written a remarkable novel about a family bound and divided by its memories.
