La Mansion

Set in 19th century California, this is the ardent tale of a near impossible ambition. Jeremiah Thurston built Thurston House, San Francisco's grandest mansion. He was determined to bring up his only daughter to run the biggest mining business in California. Nothing would stop her from taking over his dynasty -- not the San Francisco earthquake, the deadly schemes of a cunning rival, the Great depression, or her own needs and determination as she carries on the traditions established by her father.
