Richard and Sara Everton, just over and jus under forty, have come to the small Mexican Village of Ibarra to reopen a copper mine abandoned by Richard's grandfather fifty years before. they have mortgaged, sold, and borrowed, left friends and country, to settle in this remote spote; their plan is to live out their lives here, connected to the place and to each other. The two Americans, the only foreigners in Ibarra, live among people who both respect and misunderstand them. And gradually the villagers - at first enigmas to the Evertons - come to teach them much about life and the relentless tide of fate.
