Lori Wick’s Californians series spans six novels set in 19th-century California, where ranching families and newcomers navigate love, loss, and faith on the frontier. The series follows interconnected characters whose stories overlap and build on one another across the books.
Each novel focuses on a different romantic pairing, from the first stirrings of attraction to the deeper challenges of building a marriage grounded in shared belief. The California setting gives Wick room to explore themes of new beginnings and community-building that fit naturally with her Christian perspective.
