highly recommended

Two thousand years ago, there was a great bay and a peaceful land filled with sage, citrus trees, and pine. And there was a tribe called the Topaa. Marimi, a healer in her tribe, is unprepared for what fate holds in store for her. Without her knowledge, her actions place her under the watchful, suspicious gaze of a rival...and Marimi's family is placed under a curse that impacts how their legacy unfolds. From prehistoric California to the days of Spanish explorers, from the time of California colonialism to the swashbuckling cowboy days of early Los Angeles and right up to the present day, Scared Ground tells the story of the female descendants of Marimi. It tells of their loves, their betrayals, their loses, their families, and their ruthless ambitions that would forge a new country.

great web of family history invloved with this one! it reminds me of Anne Rice and the "Witching Hour" another "can't put down" I look forward to reading more From Barbra Wood

Great Read!

This was one of those books that I couldn't put down once I started....I loved to learn so much from this book of times gone by. Of course it was fun to read about an area of the US that I have just recently visited and nice to envision how people lived so many years prior to us. The characters are well thought out and I can tell that a lot of research went into this book before publishing.

Easy, entertaining, enjoyable ...I will get more of Barbara Woods works in the near future.

Well-crafted tale

If archeology and anthropology enthrall you, then you'll be immersed in the mystery from the first pages. Wood weaves an intricate tapestry of early and present life in North America that is believeable and displays much research.

The lives of many generations are entwined, with the story shifting from past to present in a smooth and gentle manner that carries the reader along to present-day Los Angeles. The great mystery is solved in a tidy and satisfying end that will leave you craving the next book by this author.

Interesting History of California

Although the viewpoint can change in a flash, I found the history of California in this story to be interesting and the characters worth caring about.
