One look at Baby Doe and you know she was meant to be a legend! She was just twenty years old when she came to Colorado to work a gold mine with her new husband. Little did she expect that she’d be abandoned and pregnant and left to manage the gold mine alone. But that didn’t stop her!
She moved to Leadville and fell in love with a married prospector, twice her age. Horace Tabor struck the biggest silver vein in history, divorced his wife and married Baby Doe. Though his new wife was known for her beauty, her fashion, and even her philanthropy, she was never welcomed in polite society.
Discover how the Tabors navigated the worlds of wealth, power, politics, and scandal in the wild days of western mining.

Praise for Gold Digger
“Rosenberg’s rollicking Western adventure strikes gold with a gutsy, good-hearted spitfire of a heroine and action aplenty.” —THELMA ADAMS, bestselling author of Bittersweet Brooklyn and The Last Woman Standing
“Gold Digger tells the true story of Lizzie ‘Baby Doe’ Tabor, a beautiful young woman who in 1878 marries the son of a wealthy miner in order to save her family from penury. Shrewd and stubborn, Lizzie fights back-biting Victorian society, wins and loses vast fortunes, and bests conniving politicians in her larger-than-life story. A twisting tale worthy of Mark Twain, with a big-hearted heroine at the center.” —MARTHA CONWAY, author of The Underground River

My Review
I live in Colorado. I enjoy reading books based in Colorado. Also, you could say that I have a soft spot for authors from Colorado or who live in Colorado.
I will admit that in the beginning I was not feeling this book. In fact, I read several chapters in and nothing was sticking. So, I walked away for a while. When I came back to this book, I started over. This time around I was into this book.
Horace and Lily aka Baby Doe were both great characters. Horace took a little long for me to warm up to him but by the end I actually had enjoyed getting to know him. He was not such a bad guy after all. He was just focused on striking it rich. However as he learned; rich does not always mean being happy. Lily was a star. It was not easy living back in the 1800s; especially for a woman. Yet, she was determined to make it on her own without the help of a man.
The places featured in this book are actually just several hours away from where I live. So it was easy for me to envision what the towns looked like back in the 1800s. They were founded by mines. I do plan to check out the sequel, Silver Dollar.
