Description:
Sixteen year old Carlota de Zubarán is the apple of her father's eye, growing up in southern California in the 1800. Her Spanish father owns an enormous ranch, and so there is much to be done: gathering cattle, riding to town for supplies, defending against theft. Carlota, against the wishes of her grandmother, Doña Dolores, rides a black stallion, Tiburón, and astride at that. She loves her horses, and she loves riding.

The novel covers the mid 1800s, when America and Mexico were skirmishing over the fate of California, and when gold was suddenly found at Sutter's Mill.
