The Secret Valley is the story of the Davis family. They travel from their home near the Missouri River to California during the Gold Rush. Father hopes to find enough gold to make them rich so they can have everything they want. Readers learn something about wagon train life on the trail west and the search for gold in California. Though the Davis’s don’t strike it rich, they do find what they really want.
