Gabriella is going on her annual vacation to her wealthy grandmother's home in Colombia. She lost her mother when she was 4 years old and has been raised by her producer father in Los Angeles, with annual visits to her mother's homeland of Colombia.
She locates a diary written by her mother explicitly for her and learns some secrets that noone has ever told her about.
Gabriella then goes through experiences in Colombia that go against the class-restricted morals of her mother's family.
Leila Cobo has written a novel with great potential, just didn't think that she took it to the heights that it could have gone to.
