Una mujer, un viaje, una historia de amor, una isla...en una época en la que el mundo se divide en dos.La vida de Luisa López cabía en un arcón. Éste guardaba infinidad de recuerdos, sueños truncados y experiencias grabadas a fuego. El día que decidió partir de Gran Tarajal, en los años de la Segunda República, no miró atrás. Luisa estaba decidida a emprender una nueva vida y escapar de un matrimonio de conveniencia impuesto por su propio padre. Dejando la tierra que la vio crecer, se concentró en buscar un oficio al otro lado del atlántico; en Cuba. En el buque, cargado de emigrantes canarios de todas las clases sociales, conoce a la familia Westerling y el objetivo de su viaje. Su futuro quedaría entrelazado a ellos irremediablemente. Las corrientes ideológicas, los cambios sociales, el papel de la mujer y la crisis económica dibujan el contexto en el que se desarrolla la historia. La narración llevará el espíritu y el sentir canario, plasmando las costumbres, expresiones y formas de vida que marcaron una época; cuyos retazos llegan aún nuestros días.
