In the Time of Peacocks

In 1949, Caterina lives happily as a cherished daughter of wealthy parents in a Mexican seaside town. Her only worry is the lack of any memories of her early childhood. As she gets older, strange images drift through her mind - a gazebo, a farm, a blonde woman. She has no idea these are memories, and she is really Cate Miller who was kidnapped from her Indiana farm ten years before. But in her fifteenth year, she remembers her past. Surviving the automobile accident in California that kills her Mexican parents, the police uncover Caterina's true identity and return her to her biological family, who gave her up for dead years ago. Against a backdrop of social change, Cate's ties to both the past and the present make it a struggle to achieve her dreams. As a Catholic she believes her faith's tenets with a childlike obedience, until she learns more of life and finds a less orthodox route to the divine through the poems of Federico Garca Lorca.
