Maria Carrillo lived at a time when California was just becoming. She witnessed the growth of the missions and the invasion of pirates. She spoke the language of the Native Americans who lived and worked with her and was in the middle of the changes as California went from a Spanish colony, to a Mexican outpost to an independent republic. Maria Carrillo was a real person, who rode the hills, dreamed the dreams and lived the tragedies that were early California. This book is a biographical novel. The events really occurred.
