A USA Today bestselling author returns with an epic sequel spanning two timelines, two cultures, and two women who refuse to be silenced.
The sequel to Everything In Its Path
1542 AD. When Spanish explorer Juan RodrÃguez Cabrillo sails into Chumash waters, Singing Bird's world changes forever. Kidnapped aboard the San Salvador, she must navigate a dangerous new world of conquistadors, mutiny, and cultural collision. Torn between duty to her people and unexpected love for a young Spanish sailor, she faces an impossible choice-and a storm that will test everyone's courage.
1929 California. Still reeling from the St. Francis Dam disaster that killed her father, Kate Thompson has lost everything-her home, her store, her future. When she takes a desperate job on a French archaeological expedition to the Channel Islands, she discovers more than ancient artifacts. As she uncovers the story of a Chumash woman who encountered the first Spanish explorers, Kate finds unexpected parallels to her own journey of survival and reinvention.
Separated by four centuries, united by courage and determination, two women's stories intersect in a tale of cultural collision, forbidden love, and the power of standing up for what you believe-even when the world tries to silence you.
A Stranger From Afar weaves together meticulously researched historical fiction with dual timelines that illuminate how women have always had to fight to make their voices heard. Perfect for fans of dual-timeline narratives, historical romance, and stories of Native American resilience.

- Based on Juan RodrÃguez Cabrillo's 1542 expedition
- Dual timeline: 1929 California & 1542 Chumash culture
