The Three Sisters

1837 The Three Sisters are tempestuous daughters of a Grandee of Spain. They are sent in disgrace from Spain to the Mexican territory of New Mexico by their father. Teen-age fantasies of love and lovers got them in deep trouble with their father when he caught them in compromising circumstances.

He made arrangements for The Three Sisters to marry distant cousins in the remote territory amongst the wilds beyond civilization. In a rage against them his purpose was to rid of them after they embarrassed him, and their indiscretions become public. It was that or the inquisition in the hands of the priests. In the far off lands they were to be little more than brood mares to men wanting good, pure, Spanish blood lines. They were to marry men they had never seen or heard of before, in a far off remote land in a foreign savage wilderness country completely abandoned by their family, where they would never be heard from again.

On their way they survive a shipwreck and are picked up by an English trading vessel on its way around The Horn to the tiny village of Los Angeles.

Alone and vulnerable, The Three Sisters are captured by slavers to be used and eventually separated and sold to strangers. How they are rescued, and their ordeals of the journey on the Old Spanish Trail to New Mexico, is a poignant, exciting and adventuresome story of survival.

The troubles of these young girls change them drastically.
Just how is what this book is about.
