Sara Marsalová neví, co si počít. Její podnikání i manželství ztroskotaly, a navíc přišla o milovanou pratetu. Rosiina smrt však Saře nabízí únikovou cestu na Sicílii, kam se musí vydat, aby prodala cenný pozemek a také vypátrala, co se stalo s Rosiinou matkou, Sařinou prababičkou Serafinou. Ta kdysi neodcestovala do Ameriky s manželem, ale zůstala v Itálii, kde nakonec také zemřela – nebo byla zavražděna? Sara na malebném sicilském venkově postupně odhaluje osud svéhlavé Serafiny, dozvídá se o jejím boji za lepší život jak pro sebe, tak pro ostatní ženy ve svém okolí, a o nebezpečí, kterému se vystavovala svou neochotou přizpůsobit se konvencím.

Postupne si vybuduje povesť liečiteľky, ibaže ospalá dedina na talianskom ostrove neprihliada na emancipovanú ženu vľúdne. O dve generácie neskôr Sare Marsalovej zlyhá manželstvo a začína o sebe vážne pochybovať. A aby toho nebolo málo, v rovnakom čase zomiera aj jej milovaná prateta Rosie. Tá jej zanechá letenku na Sicíliu, aby predala kus pôdy, ktorý patril ich rodine. Sara však ani netuší, že sa zamotá do spleti intríg, mafie a takmer sto rokov starej záhady okolo úmrtia svojej prastarej mamy Serafiny. Čím hlbšie Sara pátra, tým viac sa sama vystavuje nebezpečenstvu, až napokon hrozí, že skončí rovnako tragicky ako jej predkyňa.
