It speaks of her influence on her grandson who is inspired by her true stories of suffrage and pain, heartiness and laughter and the lessons that come from such a life. It takes us through the boys life lessons learned and applied by being one of Lencha's grandchildren. He then matures and assimilates to life here in the United States and eventually rises to become a high-ranking federal agent within the federal government. It is a story of compelling family laughter and lamented loss. Of assimilation into the American dream and of success having been achieved paved by the sacrifices endured by those before him.
