Southern California Story: Seeking the Better Life in Sierra Madre is a 384-page book with historical photographs and illustrations.

In Southern California Story: Seeking the Better Life in Sierra Madre, Michele Zack again delivers urban history at its best.  As with Altadena, she pays her subject the tribute of extensive research and lively narrative.  Whether it is people, politics, water, the environment, or social and racial issues, Zack places Sierra Madre’s story in a regional and national context — so that this history encompasses the range and richness of Southern California for those seeking a better life.  Here is a regional history that offers us real insight into American life.
~Dr. Kevin Starr, author of the California Dream series.
