Sinopsis

Hannah of Santiago, the adventures of an English woman in a Spanish colony is the story of a young Puritan woman determined to forge a legacy in the New World, and of Sebastian Maldonado, a progressive merchant who claims her as his bride despite opposition from his family and the stratified Spanish society of Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala (La Antigua Guatemala). "My goal in writing this novel", says the author, "was to tell the story about a young woman who is thrust into a completely foreign environment and to show how she adapts and matures into a woman of admirable character who finds her purpose and place in life."
