Lavina (pronounced with long "i" sound) is a young girl of Scottish descent who grew up as a cowgirl in the Arizona desert speaking both English and Spanish; she's now off to California to live with her aunt to learn how to be a lady.
The summary sounded interesting and I enjoyed the first few chapters as they flew by. For the most part I enjoyed it until the Halloween chapter, then came the story of the witch who ate babies (not very amusing). I did like the rest of the book though. The author used great storytelling abilities to weave in flashbacks and family stories right into what was currently happening. The descriptions in the book tell many accurate facts of the historical time period, including the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906.
