Jack is seventy and enjoying retirement, which consists mostly of sitting on his porch. Connie, however, remains active, still appearing at educational conferences, and tirelessly exchanging letters with Sally and Ike.
Bo and Angela's care has made the ranch and the Castañeda family among the wealthiest and most respected in the area - certainly the most renowned Mestizo family. Lionel is closest to his uncle Zeke, and hopes to attend university like Sally and Ike - he wants to study engineering and bring his inventions to a wider audience than the ranch.
Mimi has encouraged Francesca to start writing a serialised story about ranch life that is being published by a local newwspaper. Doc, their youngest, has grown close to Maggie, and helps her care for the ranch's livestock.
Sally and Jude's daughter Adela continues to be a quiet, thoughtful girl. She is showing an aptitude for the piano. Her parents still live a busy, passionate life filled with the buzz of work and activism - there is always more to be done in San Francisco, especially with a new daughter.
She is far more energetic than her older sister was at that age, and while Adela remains attached at the hip to her mother, her little sister is inseparable from her father.
Zeke and Alma's daughter, Rosa, is, like her cousin, a quiet girl - however, unlike Adela, she delights in the outdoors, and likes exploring the ranch alone. Zeke's focus remains on innovating the ranch, while Alma has shifted hers to advocating for local Mexican and Native families in legal matters. Alma has just given birth to another daughter.
Mimi and Léo share an art studio in San Francisco, where Mimi continues landscape painting and Léo focuses on her modernist sculptures. Their work is often displayed at exhibitions, where it is met with admiration, but not without controversy - Léo's sculptures are rather avant-garde, and while Mimi's Californian landscapes are orthodox, her attire is not: recently, she has been donning men's suits to social occasions.
Maggie's veterinary practice is thriving. When she is not busy attending the births of calves or mending broken paws, she spends what little time is left with her nieces and nephews. It leaves little time for marriage or romance, but Maggie is content.
Ike has completed his studies. He has realised that while he waits for his writing to be noticed, he ought to find steady employment and not really on the hopes a publishing house will finally express interest. Thus, he has taken up the family mantle and become a teacher like Connie. He teaches literature and history at a San Francisco school, but still writes prolifically and visits the ranch when he can.
He is particularly close to his niece Francesca, and encourages her literary pursuits - though the family joke he is living vicariously through her.
