This Rolling Land

Description

Why was she so purely delighted that he had entered her world? In an age of the decline of the Spanish dons—those elegant lords of central California during the mid-1800s—Felicidad Martines meets an Irish sea-man, Seamus Fisher. Though born in different worlds, Felicidad; her father, the don; Seamus, and others in the grandee's family must come to grips with the dying society as it makes way for a new and more democratic order. It is a last gracious moment in history; the first in a vital new era, in which all must learn the power of sacrificial love.
