Part Moulin Rouge, part into the wild, part legally blonde - The Chain is the thrilling and often terrifying memoir, of a young woman learning to mine for gold in the remote Yukon. Alongside her story, Brandee Radford maps the re-imagined life of Klondike Kate Rockwell, the chanteuse and dancer who captured the heart of Dawson City a century before, and who Brandee looked to for strength and inspiration in her hardest hours. Building a lakefront mansion and a glamorous life out of the profits of gold dust, Brandee also barely escaped grizzlies, was lost in the bush, spent twenty-two hours clinging to the side of a mountain in an excavator and lived through the cruelest betrayal a woman can experience. An antique gold chain brings Kate and Brandee together-and becomes a symbol for the long chain of women who helped build the world, only to be written out of history.
