The novel opens in the vibrant and close-knit community of La Colonia in East Los Angeles. Here, we meet Luz and Carlos, two young Mexican-Americans who fall deeply in love. Their love story is a testament to the resilience and joy that can be found within marginalized communities, even in the face of adversity.

However, their love is tested by a series of challenges, including Luz's unexpected pregnancy, Carlos's struggles with addiction, and the constant discrimination they face as a Mexican-American couple. As they navigate these challenges together, Luz and Carlos must confront their own cultural identities and the expectations that society places upon them.

In parallel with Luz and Carlos's story, we follow the story of their parents, Maria and Jose.

They also learn the importance of forgiveness, compassion, and the power of love to overcome adversity.
