Synopsis

In 1806 Monterey, two sisters are attracted to aristocratic brothers; but the men are keeping important secrets.

In 1803 Spanish California, Aurora Rivera risks her simple life as a mission teacher to accept a governess position at the fabled Rancho de Montaraz. Aristocratic Iván de Montaraz hides his real motive for asking her to come.

Iván, his head-strong daughter, and his three younger brothers prove more than Aurora bargained for. Still, she finds herself attracted to the ranchero, unaware that the truths he hides concern her own heritage, and a tragedy from his past that controls his future.

When a raging wildfire results in injuries, Aurora calls on her adopted sister Pía, a nurse trained in native remedies. Long-buried secrets embroil both Aurora and Pía in surprising twists and turns that threaten the godly principles they hold dear.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Marilyn was born and reared in cattle country. She wanted no part of the life of a rancher's wife. No saddle sores and feeding hungry cowboys in the middle of dusty pastures for her. She would read, research, and write. She married-a rancher, of course-but she taught school, surrounded by sweet children and books. Cheryl's mother was her co-teacher and closest friend. Marilyn collected history and wrote for historical magazines and journals for sixteen years, until the day her rancher said he needed her with him more than they needed a paycheck. She finally earned her spurs. Now a widow, she again collects history and writes historical fiction about inspired women of the southwest.

A true blue Texas girl, Cheryl lives in the serenity of the hill country near Austin. During some of life's challenges, Cheryl discovered how faithful God is in His abounding love. Through this process grew a love for other women who have unearthed God's strength to move forward in His way. For Cheryl, the best part of writing inspirational historical fiction is the anticipation of what is to come-standing beside women from another era who meet the challenges of a complicated life journey by discovering the joy of living close to God. It does her soul good to be surrounded by the laughter of loved ones, an empty plate of southern home-cooking, and a page of perfectly orchestrated words powerful enough to transform the way we see the world.
