A sus diez anos, Darling se mueve con sus amigos por su aldea de chabolas en Zimbabue con el desparpajo y el espiritu travieso propios de cualquier nino. Pero sobre ellos cae la sombra de los recuerdos de ŤAntesť. Antes de que policias paramilitares destruyeran sus casas, antes de que cerrasen los colegios, antes de que sus padres se marcharan al extranjero a realizar trabajos peligrosos. A Darling se le ofrece una via de escape: tiene una tia en America. Decidida a aprovechar la proverbial abundancia de Estados Unidos, pero lejos del aislamiento y las comodidades de su comunidad en Zimbabue, Darling debe lidiar con los sacrificios y las ambivalentes recompensas de la adaptacion a su nuevo hogar. / At ten years old, Darling and her friends move around their shantytown in Zimbabwe with the ease and mischievous spirit as any other child. However, the shadow of Before lingers on them. Before the paramilitary police destroyed their homes, before the schools closed, before their parents left to work dangerous jobs in foreign countries. Darling is offered a way out: she has an aunt in America. Impelled to take advantage of the proverbial abundance of the United States, but far from the insulation and comforts of her community in Zimbabwe, Darling must embrace the sacrifices and the ambivalent rewards of adapting to a new home.
