Book title: "The disappearance of Sarita "frenchy" Contreras."
Overview: Around the year 1870 a french descended girl lived in California, in the county of Calaveras, surrounded by miners from foreign countries who arrived for the gold rush. She disappeared in San Francisco, and then reappeared in Mexico, in the state of Sonora. This is a novel starting at 1855 in San Francisco, filling the gaps of what the life of Sarita's family in the old west may have been like. And why later Sarita probably changed her name, sheltering herself from all those who sought her out. This novel is based on a real-life story.
