In the early 1900s, in rural Mexico, a father and mother are taken from their children in a tragic accident.
An eight-year old’s sense of responsibility as head of the family of four children orphaned and separated in 1911 proves an awe-inspiring adventure. The stories Carmen’s father, Daniel Corrales, tells her during her life and before his death in 1987, are heart-warming, intimate, and full of surprises, emotion, and hope.
A 7-year-old child climbs onto her father’s lap and embraces his warmth. It’s story time and on this particular day, her father has a surprise.
