Las Arenas

"The World Series Earthquake is a fitting prelude to battles witnessed by
attorney Angela Adams and architect Vince Correlli from within the seaside
community of Las Arenas. The two learn to live with the sometimes odd and
quirky actions of their neighbors. They can’t escape the fact, however, that Las
Arenas is placed by nature between the towns of Rockport and Willow Glen
that have a century-old history of conflicts. The fictional towns might exist
anywhere along the California coast; but their problems are typical of those
in similar communities that grew during the real-estate boom years of the
Golden State."
