About the Book

A young slave named Carter Perkins finally gains his freedom when California becomes a free state, and his half-brother and master, Charles Perkins, returns to Mississippi when their father dies. They have worked together to find gold, but only Charles has reaped the rewards. Carter finds gold himself and starts a successful hauling business to support the influx of gold seekers. He falls in love with Hannah, a woman who was once enslaved, and they plan their future together. For the first time, they feel free. But Southern politicians force California to pass a strict Fugitive Slave Law. Carter and Hannah's friends are quickly chained and thrown in jail. They are helpless to plead their case since people of color cannot speak in court. Carter and Hannah find themselves fighting for their freedom in a web of lies and racism aimed at forcing them back into slavery.

Review :
5.0 out of 5 stars A profound, moving, historically accurate tale of slavery, determination, and love Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2025 "This book is a truly sensational story about one of the most difficult times not only in American history, but in world history, too. The author's love of historical fiction shines through the pages with the utmost respect, care, and accuracy. Carter's story is one that many people may not be familiar with, and the author beautifully gives Carter a voice in the modern day through careful research and creative liberties. The story will tug at your heartstrings and offer an even deeper, day-by-day, year-by-year glimpse into the horrors, struggles, betrayals of slavery during the Gold Rush - but at the same time, the author weaves tender moments of true love, perseverance, and new beginnings throughout the tougher, overall story. This is a must-read for lovers of historical fiction prior to the 20th century!" "Chains of Gold" hit me hard. It brought the past to life. I could smell the dirt of the plantation fields and hear the clinking of Carter's chains in that dingy cell. It's gripping in a way that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go. Honestly, I was right there, feeling the weight of every decision, every injustice, every fight for freedom." "This is an incredible piece of American history that is told with startling realism. It's a quick read that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Carter's fight to gain his freedom in the free state of California should never be forgotten. It highlights the ongoing struggle for freedom against those willing to do anything for wealth and power."
