With the first headlines that screamed "Gold! Gold! Gold!" the rush to the Klondike quickly became the stuff of legend. It was the Wild West all over again, the cowboy hero recast as prospector. Four key figures are linked to the gold that set off the stampede: George Carmack, his Tagish wife Kate Carmack (born Shaaw Tlaa), her brother Skookum Jim, and their nephew Dawson Charlie. Of these, Kate has received the least recognition, even though she played a pivotal role in the events that led to the Klondike stampede. In this recovery of a key historical figure, Vanasse explores the early life of Kate, the years she spent with George before the Klondike discovery, her meeting of almost every key figure in gold rush history, and the experiences in Washington and California that brought her into a world she could scarcely have imagined. Four years after he set off the rush, Carmack abandoned his wife at a California ranch. Illiterate and thousands of miles from her home, Kate fought for her wealth, her family, and her reputation. Through a fortuitous combination of correspondence, legal proceedings, ethnographic study, and the generosity of Kate's Tagish-Tlingit relatives, the story of Kate Carmack can finally be told. The first popular rendering of the Klondike Gold Rush from the perspective of those who were there first-, her biography gives voice to a survivor who, against all odds, ultimately reclaimed her true wealth. Vanasse brings a novelist's skill to a multifaceted and deeply researched story. Here is a complex portrait of an important historical figure overshadowed by the rush to Klondike gold.

The Richer(TM) Woman is the true story of a young woman's pursuit of wealth, taking her on a journey of career validation, personal identity, marital conflict, adultery and spiritual enlightenment, and leading her to the discovery of true wealth and purpose.A certified wealth and life coach, Omilola Oshikoya's autobiographical debut is packed with wealth and life-coaching tips to help every woman live the Richer(TM) life: a truly well-rounded life that is successful, without the need to compromise on personal relationships in order to gain financial success.ForwardMy husband and I read the draft copy of the RicherWoman that was sent to us with a mixture of excitement andapprehension. Excitement, because of the candour andrealness of the content - and the balm we knew it would befor many for that very reason - and apprehension, for thesame reason. We wondered if sharing so much would makeOmilola vulnerable to attack. But I sat back on completion, really awed and inspired by her courage. I realise herpersonal story and journey is critical to the healing power ofthis book. It's this dangerous vulnerability that is sopowerful. Even in 2017, it's rare, especially in Christiancircles, to experience this level of truth. In John 8:32, Jesussaid '.... the truth will set you free'. I believe Omilola's truthwill set many free.From the initial details of her fledging love life insecondary school days to the more tumultuous universityromance, and then onto meeting the man who would be herhusband, we see the lessons she needed to learn unfoldingthrough the choices she makes, and we see the consequencesthat follow. We see how her brokenness drove her to makepoor relationship choices and to build a career that robbedher family life, and we see God's redeeming grace woven in as'Mr Mysterious' arrives on the scene. We see how asfrustrations, accidents and God's whispers lead her into acareer of purpose. We learn that, far from being just a funky 10slogan, 'Do it Afraid' is something she's lived. It's been both aspringboard into purpose and a continual source of challengeto reach higher and do better.Don't be fooled! While this is an 'equipping book' -skilling you, especially in part C, to fulfill potential - itscentral message is about much more than career prominenceand success; it is also about growing into a godly wife andmother, and discovering yourself as a unique human beingand an object of divine love. It's about learning to loveyourself and discover your unique path through this world.It's a story of discovering God, growing in God and walkingwith God.The book's conversational style is endearing andenchanting. It ropes you in, like the aromas wafting out of acandy store draw you in as you walk by, and delivers truth ina sweet and accessible manner. I know this book will makeyou chuckle, reflect on your life, reconsider your prioritiesand provoke your faith. Then Omilola's goal will be realized: to challenge you to start your journey to becoming the Richerwoman God made you to be.Are you ready? Fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride.We are off to a great destination!Bimbo Fola-AladeCo-Lead Pastor, The Liberty Church, London
