A young girl being raped by a cousin flees her Guatemalan homeland and makes the perilous journey to America alone, not knowing she’s pregnant. When the girl, Celestina, has a tiny infant in a store restroom, she is confused and terrified, and when the premature baby is found dead, police question whether to charge her with murder. Taken to a clinic, Celestina is cared for by a lovely woman physician. Set in Florida’s beautiful Palm Beaches, the story fascinates the community. People want to know more. A newspaper reporter assigned to the story asks the doctor for more information, and as that relationship deepens, we learn of their own tragedies and triumphs. The reporter’s daughter, the same age as Celestina, offers her a loving hand, and their special friendship becomes the heartbeat of this moving story.
