San Francisco Earthquake, 1906 (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

In the vibrant center of the new West -- brash, young San Francisco -- an 18-year-old housekeeper, still smarting from a flirtatious gentleman's snub, realizes it is time to face reality and remember her place in society. But when Sierra O'Nielle meets Joseph Drachier, the handsome son of a wealthy cattle rancher, the electricity that flows between them is impossible to ignore. Joseph's father will do anything to keep him from Sierra, but fate intervenes in the form of the earthquake of the century.
