Six of these seven stories rest on some historical fact: the flight of Padre Peyri, Father Zalvidea’s hidden money, the pious woman called La Beata and Father Uria’s saints, with a desert prophecy to introduce them. Written in 1917, they picture daily life at the missions in the early nineteenth century.

Gentle, atmospheric stories for anyone who has visited the California missions. Download the free EPUB.
