Carlota is a young Spanish maiden, who lives on a 47 thousand acre ranch in Southern California. It is called Dos Hermanos. Carlota grew up strong and brave and was not like other Spanish women. At a very young age her father died and she was forced to run the ranch all by herself. She had to take the place of her brother also. She defended the ranch through drought season, men who slaughter her cattle and horses, and American gringos who want her land.

I liked this book because Carlota showed that women can do anything men can do. I also like reading books about adventures, this certainly had it.
