Dentro del marco de revoluciones transcurre la trama de esta novela enfocada en las vidas de diferentes mujeres unidas por la fuerza de la resistencia. Amélie escapa de la violencia en Haití y busca refugio en Cuba, donde se convierte en la nana de una bebé nacida en el seno de una familia rica. Con la sabiduría y poder del vudú, ella cría a Diana como si fuera su propia hija. Diana, ya una mujer adulta, decide renunciar a sus privilegios y se une a la lucha por una sociedad más justa, y poco después del triunfo de la Revolución cubana del siglo XX, termina tras las rejas de una prisión castrista, en la cual las protecciones místicas de los dioses africanos no pueden salvarla de la cruel realidad. Josie, la madre de Diana, escultora reconocida, permanece en Cuba para tratar de proteger a la joven desde del otro lado de las rejas. La novela es un fresco documentado de dramas y situaciones que recrean los contrastes entre Haití y Cuba, el sincretismo de sus religiones y los dilemas morales que surgen en tiempos de revolución.
