Question

River of Angels by Alejandro Morales One afternoon after getting his pay, he went to his room in the bachelors’ quarters, packed a small duffel bag and followed the sun to the West Coast. The year was 1900, the dawn of a new century, when Rodia arrived in San Francisco, where love caught him, and a year later he was married. He remained in San Francisco with his wife, had two boys and worked in what seemed to be never-ending construction. Everywhere he looked there was a house, a building, a bridge, streets, parks being constructed. He saved his money and sent funds to his sister and her husband. The couple eventually came to Southern California.

I apologize for the mistake. You are correct. The sentence "The year was 1900, the dawn of a new century, when Rodia arrived in San Francisco, where love caught him, and a year later he was married" does indeed use personification by attributing human qualities to love.
