Elvie's background is a mystery--even to her, while Johnny's entranced by his family's fascinating tales. Consumed by a computer-driven adventure, he explores his Latin roots, never expecting a beautiful woman to enter his life. On his trip from Denver to New York, he encounters her as she travels to visit her dying grandfather. They discover they're both Puerto Rican, and the chance meeting weaves together a design of love past and present. Stories of Taino Indians on the Eden-like island of Puerto Rico emerge as Johnny shares with Elvie accounts of Columbus, Caribbean Indians, and Spaniards searching for gold. Will Johnny's hunt for his ancestry untangle Elvie's family secrets or will it yield something never imagined in his?
