Sneak Peak ‘Between the veranda and the river meadows, out on which it looked, all was garden, orange grove, and almond orchard; the orange grove always green, never without snowy bloom or golden fruit; the garden never without flowers, summer or winter; and the almond orchard, in early spring, a fluttering canopy of pink and white petals, which, seen from the hills on the opposite side of the river, looked as if rosy sunrise clouds had fallen, and become tangled in the tree-tops. On either hand stretched away other orchards,—peach, apricot, pear, apple pomegranate; and beyond these, vineyards. Nothing was to be seen but verdure or bloom or fruit, at whatever time of year you sat on the Senora's south veranda.’ Synopsis Set in Old California, this poignant story gives a detailed look at life shortly after the Mexican–American War, the oppression of Native American tribes, and the barbaric arrival of white settlers. Ramona, a Scottish-Native American orphan girl, is raised by the overbearing Señora Gonzaga Moreno, the sister of Ramona's deceased foster mother. But because Ramona wants Alessandro, a Native American, the two lovers are shunned and forced into life on the run.
