She falls in love with a handsome American trapper named John Carver, who has come to California in search of adventure and fortune. Their love affair is complicated by the fact that John is an outsider in a land where the Spanish are the ruling class.

Meanwhile, John must navigate the dangerous wilderness of California, facing threats from both the Spanish authorities and the native tribes who are hostile to outsiders.

A review by the Twentieth Century Western Writers says: ...is set in 1835 in California, and has a very complicated plot. But it is a real attempt at a historical novel, even though the mystery of the parentage of the two rival girls undercuts the accuracy of the hacienda based rivalry for the two families.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
