Winds of Santa Ana

“Kennedy is not only a gifted academic historian, he is also a pilgrim-sailor with the head of a philosopher, the heart of a Christian mystic, and the soul of a poet. These traits are wonderfully on display in this imaginative and enchanting book. . . . Winds of Santa Ana nurtures the spiritual imagination. It is a book for those longing for a thicker description of nature, the past, and life than the reductive methodologies of the modern academy offer.”
