Diamond earrings from Tiffanys, her own personal nanny, a generous godmother, jaunts to New York, a chrome and hand carved wooden swing set, riding in her fathers 1950 M.G. touring car, or her uncles RollsRoyce to a yacht club or a polo match, these are every day people and things in the life of a girl named Emmy. Emmy's father, Mr. Agostini, is a Don Quixote obsessed aristocrat, and her mother, Mrs. Agostini, is a spoiled Southern belle. Emmy is a girl given to fancy, making her life even more colorful. Nevertheless, there is trouble in paradise.One fateful night, when Mr. Agostini slips into the persona of Don Quixote, Mrs. Agostini takes offense, sneaks into their library, pulls all of Mr. Agostini's books about knighthood off the shelves, and sets them ablaze. From that moment on, their lives are forever changed.Mrs. Agostini takes the children to the States, along with Aurora, Emmys little sisters nanny. While traveling through the 1950s segregated South, on their way to Colorado, Emmy is affected by how Aurora is treated, however, the day comes when Aurora finds being the only black person in a Colorado mining town to be the least of her worries.Beginning on the staircase of the statue of Liberty, and ending in a Colorado gold miners cabin, as this epic 1950's story winds its way from the mansions of Havana to the windmills of La Mancha, it paints clear and searing portraits of wickedness, cruelty, unconditional love, sacrifice, chivalry, wealth, arrogance, humility, and those ephemeral characteristics of hope and optimism in the face of insurmountable predicaments.
