Summary
It is a time for upheaval in Cuba: the time to build a new society. Even from her position of privilege, idealistic divorcée Carmela Vasconcelos sees the waves of uprising and is caught up in the excitement. Persuaded by her brother, Lucas, she flees her wealthy home to join Fidel Castro's rebels. In the mountainous jungle of the Sierra Maestra, Carmela meets Ignacio Deheza, a charismatic Argentinean socialist fighting on behalf of the insurrection. On the training fields of a revolution, they bond in the cause, and in a blind passion that stirs their blood and soul. As Carmela, Ignacio and Lucas navigate increasingly dangerous political waters, their personal fates become inexorably tied with that of their country. But when the rebellion succumbs to corruption and disillusionment, they'll find their dedication to the movement tested. For Carmela and Ignacio, they'll soon discover that it's their commitment to each other, and the choices they must make to survive, that will be the greatest challenge of all
