She came to California as a young bride in an arranged marriage. Now she owns seventy-five square miles of property bordering the Mokelumne River where gold has been discovered. They want her land and will stop at nothing to get it, even if it means her murder.
Dallas Review - A gripping tale of Spanish California.
Jane Bannerman - The Modesto Bee: "Mitchell's research of the customs and traditions of the mining towns and the ranchos gives The Doña authenticity."
Laura Evinin - KAZV - TV, Channel 14: "A terrific novel, one I could not put down. The characters are so well developed, you will believe they are real. Mr. Mitchell's description of the events and surroundings allows the reader to picture the scene inside their head. Not boring at all, but a very interesting book."
