Gabriela learns that she is pregnant. A Mulatto girl from New Orleans, she is pressured to leave town by the socially prominent family of a boy who is the father of her twin girls.

Gabriela eventually manages her escape; the much-heralded journey West, to a better life. The way would be fraught with peril, but along with her twin daughters, Gabriela is determined to make this pilgrimage to LA. There they must somehow rebuild amidst the many lingering questions of ethnicity and betrayal. To her daughters, at times taken for white, Gabriela teaches always that that they are
"Beyond Color."

Through varying paths in life, often presented with tragic circumstances, Gabriela and her family would grow-up; would face hurdles and issues concerning both past and future, and would come to know the true meaning of family.

But most of all, when love calls,
would Gabriela, still very much young
and productive, suddenly back off--
they way she always does-- or will she
step out on faith
this time, long enough to allow a
man in her life again....?
