However, she is unaware of how dramatically her life will change when she uproots her young family from the island to settle in the American Midwest, nor how this will be the first of many disappointments in her life.
In the 1980s, witnessing her mother’s isolation in Missouri, Rafaela’s daughter, Ruth, decides to abandon the language, customs, and memories of her childhood in Puerto Rico.

As they care for Daisy, both women revisit the disappointments, loves, risks, and triumphs that shaped their lives. These memories also uncover hidden secrets that make them question their place in the world.
