Luza is afraid and distraught. She has left her family behind in Cuba and has arrived in Homestead, Florida where she has just heard the news that her and her brother will be separated. She's one of the 14,000+ unaccompanied Cuban children who were shipped to the U.S. via the Pedro Pan program of the early 1960's. Castro had declared himself the leader of the Communist party in Cuba and everything had changed. Luza's mother had made the decision to send Luza and her brother to the U.S. to shield them from the Marxist-Leninist indoctrination as well as to avoid them from being sent to the war zone in Angola. A year later Luza was placed in a foster home in Albuquerque N.M. where she starts her spiritual journey with an Isleta Pueblo shaman named Milgracias. These two unlikely companions build a bond that lasts a lifetime. What follows is a journey through the tumultuous 60's.
