Virginia, a young girl living in a remote rural town in Nicaragua, experiences friendship and loss for the first time. She makes a friend in Angelina, a mysterious girl she meets at school, whom she grows to love rather quickly. But life in El Pochote, Nicaragua, is tough! Having to do without (electricity, running water, and food) are commonplace for most. Virginia's family is fortunate to own land (a farm) and to work and live off the land. But not everyone is as fortunate, including her new friend Angelina.
