But as a young woman, Eliza falls in love with the wildly inappropriate Joaquín Andieta - and when he leaves for the gold-laden hills of California, she can't help but follow. With the aid of newfound friends, Eliza finds a place for herself in this burgeoning society; and while she came to California for someone else, what was once a search for love transforms into a profound discovery of her own freedom.
