California has shimmered alluringly as paradise and Promised Land since long before the projections of Hollywood and the slick brochures of real estate developers. Those who answered the call to adventure have been many: conquistadors and missionaries, lovers and dreamers, swindlers and salesmen, builders and destroyers. Yet in all the centuries of exploration and exploitation, no one has uncovered the inside story of this haunted place%u2026.until now. When California native Craig Chalquist awakened from a life-changing dream to hear the troubled spirit of his homeland calling out, he set forth on El Camino Real, the fabled King%u2019s Highway linking San Diego with Sonoma, on a journey of research, reflection, and anguishing recollection to listen in on stories and persistent images still abroad at continent%u2019s edge. As he followed in the footsteps of Jun?ro Serra, first missionary of California, he found himself followed in turn by the centuries-old mystery of La Llorona, the Weeping Woman of Mexican folklore, in her search for her lost children along the conquered coast. Join him on an odyssey through the heart of enshadowed California, keeper of nightmares and inspirer of dreams, and into a deep exploration of the resonances and echoes and %u201Cecological complexes%u201D that bind us all to the places we call home.
