A Family Saga through Californiaâ??s Rich Historyâ?¦ When twenty-something Nicole Sinclair stumbles on DNA reports that document an ancestry far different from her fatherâ??s narrative of a white, northern European background, she enlists the help of her great grandmother to investigate their roots. As she and Great Gram ignore her fatherâ??s protests and search for documents in the attic of a historic San Francisco Victorian, the familyâ??s actual history unfolds. Their true Californio ancestors include a Spanish soldier in the Portola expedition to explore Alta California, a captured Ohlone native and a girl whose family walks with the De Anza settlers eighteen hundred miles from Sinaloa to the San Francisco Bay.
