When Minerva Jane Jenkins was just 14 years old, she married a man who moved her to the mountains. He carried with him a small box, which he told her was filled with gold. And when he died 50 years later, he made her promise to keep his secret. She is to tell no one about the box or the treasure it contains.
Now 94, Minerva is nearing the end of what has sometimes been a lonely life. But she's kept that secret. Even so, rumors of hidden gold have a way of spreading, and Minerva is visited by a reporter, Del Rankin, who wants to know more of her story. His friend who joins him only wants to find the location of the gold. Neither of them knows quite who they're up against when it comes to the old woman on the mountain.
As an unlikely friendship develops, Minerva is tempted to reveal her secret to Del. After all, how long is one bound by a promise? But the truth of what's really buried in the box may be hidden even from her.

Great story, but it was a confusing timeline. If Stately was born in 1805, and married at 17, in what war did he serve??? Also, if he was injured, how did he build a house, barn, and plow fields?? Otherwise I enjoyed the story.
We all face death at the end of this life & if you've lived more than half your life, you'll feel yourself in Miss Minerva's body.I highly recommend this book.A note to the author...you outdid yourself on this one Cindy Sproles!
Yet another on the edge of your seat book by Cindy Sproles.
This was one of those books that I took my time reading, so I could enjoy it longer. Just loved that it's told from an "old woman" viewpoint. A sweet, stubborn old mountain lady who had a lot of backbone and grit. I loved how a good, young man came into her life and brightened it up before she passed. Her faith and sense of humor stayed with her through a very difficult marriage. Truly loved the ending! Great book, well written and captivating!
I hated for the story to end! A wonderful story of what "gold" in our life is trulyAbout -- LOVE!
