Title Ramona
Credits Produced by David Reed, and David Widger
Summary "Ramona" by Helen Hunt Jackson is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Southern California and revolves around the life of the titular character, Ramona, who is raised by the Senora Moreno, a strong and commanding matriarch, alongside her beloved son Felipe. As the narrative begins, themes of cultural heritage, identity, and personal conflict emerge, revealing the complex dynamics within the Moreno household and the societal tensions of the time. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the historical context of the ranch owned by Senora Moreno, whose steadfastness and authority are evident despite her mild demeanor. Through her interactions with her head shepherd Juan Canito and her ailing son Felipe, the reader gains insight into the intricacies of ranch life, the importance of tradition, and the looming shadows of change brought on by American expansion. Simultaneously, Ramona is gradually revealed as a cherished figure in their lives, harboring her own questions about her origins and the mysterious history tied to her past. As the story develops, Ramona's journey promises to explore deeper themes of belonging and the struggle against cultural tensions, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of her identity against a backdrop of societal transformation.
