Gene Stratton-Porter (1863 - 1924) was a naturalist, photographer and author.

This novel, set in 1920s California, tells the tale of Linda Strong who shares her father’s love for the beauty of nature in California. When her parents suddenly pass away, she is left with her sister Eileen, a huge house, and much wealth. Eileen goes on a spending spree, dissipating the inheritance at an alarming pace. When Linda eventually finds out, she meets with their banker and finds a way to earn money in a manner that she enjoys. The narrative includes romance, murder, and delightful descriptions of the state’s fauna and flora.

While Gene Stratton Porter is one of my all-time favorite authors, this is not my favorite book. That is primarily due to racism against Japanese Americans, which was very prevalent in California at the time. I did enjoy the characters and the plot, however, as well as the insights I gained about that period of time (World War I era) in US history.

An interesting look at the social trends of the era

Really disliked the narrator. She sounded like she was smiling while she was reading at inappropriate times. Her voice of Katie was ridiculous.

Great story.
