In a dark hour after midnight in 1938 a volley of shots ring out and a number of Spanish men fall dead. For them, from then on, there are no consequences. But for the women left behind, wives, mothers, daughters and sons, the echo from those gun barrels repeat, repeat, and repeat.
This is the story of the women in one of those affected families: Señora Dolores, a wife, a mother, and an untimely grandmother; her daughters, especially among them long-suffering Maria, ambitious and thwarted Mora, her war-born, blonde-headed sister Luna, and finally the illegitimate and abandoned Lucia.
We follow them from the dusty barrio of old Seville to the shores of gleaming America, and ultimately to a row home in Philadelphia where the American Dream comes and goes. We watch them sometimes prevail, and always survive.
