Summary

The lives of Amanda de Leon, her daughter Sylvia, and granddaughter Vivian unfold during the turbulent years in Guam between the Spanish-American War and World War II. Amanda falls for an American sailor who leaves her with child. Sylvia, the illegitimate half-breed, grows up in shame but finds love with Constantino Camacho. Their daughter Vivian vows not to make her grandmother's mistake. Then Philip Avery enters her life. He is a Navy Lieutenant, handsome, and wealthy, like a storybook mansion, but as distant from Vivian's racial and cultural reality as the moon. Despite their differences, Philip falls for Vivian, but tragedy and the war intervene
