The simplicity of Ojai farm girl Meggie Baxter's life is shattered
when she must choose between loyalty to her rough-hewn friend,
Rusty, and the dashing Charles. As the decades of her life unfold,
she faces the elemental dangers of floods and fire as well as the
colorful high-jinks radiating from Pop Soper's Fight Camp, the
steam baths at Matilija Hot Springs, a leaning post office tower, a
corrupt councilman and Libbey's plans to modernize the town.
Amid tragedy and loss, Meggie clings to the one constant in her
life, the promise of God's love. It is the "pink moment," the
evening sunset casting a rosy hue like a prayer across the Topa
Topa Mountains, that points her again and again to faith and
courage. Midst the idyllic beauty of the Ojai Valley and the
crushing forces of change, will Meggie and her beloved Ojai stay
true to their rural roots of faith and family? Will the ultimate
sacrifice that spares Rusty's life be enough? Or will the winds of
destiny destroy both the people and the indomitable spirit of the
Ojai?
