River of Time: California - Three Wishes

On the verge of graduating from high school in California, Zara Ruiz is a regular girl contemplating her impending future. However, a shattering loss at dusk and the discovery of a priceless object in a tide pool catapult her one hundred and eighty years into the past. There, she encounters the handsome ranchero Javier de la Ventura, a man with big dreams and even bigger secrets, alongside his captivating family, in a land that is both familiar and utterly foreign.

It is not a peaceful time to be a Mexican settler in the young Alta California, as they face challenges from cattle rustlers, pirates, and a growing call for statehood. Amidst this turbulent backdrop, Zara must decide whether she has found what she longs for in the past or if her heart's three wishes can only be fulfilled in the present.

Javier de la Ventura's enchanting family and the breathtaking landscape of the past draw Zara in, offering a stark contrast to the life she has known. As she navigates this unfamiliar world, she is confronted with the complexities of the region's political and social climate, as well as the personal struggles of the de la Ventura clan. Caught between two vastly different eras, Zara must reconcile her desires for the present and the allure of the past, all while facing the dangers that threaten the very existence of Javier's community.

The unfolding events force Zara to contemplate the true meaning of home, the weight of her decisions, and the sacrifices she might have to make to find her happiness. Through her interactions with Javier and his family, she gains a deeper understanding of the challenges and joys that come with forging a life in a land on the cusp of transformation.

As Zara grapples with her own three wishes and the temptation of a life in the past, she is drawn into a web of intrigue, romance, and the universal human desire for belonging. The journey she embarks on not only tests the boundaries of time but also challenges her to redefine her own sense of self and the path she had envisioned for her future.

Ultimately, Zara's extraordinary experiences in the past compel her to re-evaluate her priorities and confront the true nature of her heart's desires, leading her to a pivotal decision that will shape the course of her life, both in the present and the past.
