David Armstrong, who was born of Jamaican immigrants Joseph and Melody Armstrong in Brixton, London, England encounters Alessia Amato, who had recently arrived in London from Reggio di Calabria, Italy, accompanied by her elder brother, Paolo and her younger brother, Giancarlo. They meet at work in a bank in London, in December 2009, and begin to share their thoughts, feelings, and plans, to the consternation of Paolo.

He seeks a suitable husband for his younger sister and is delighted to encounter Benito Esposito and Tomassini Rossi in a Camden Town grocery store, near his home. They introduce themselves as businessmen, born in Campesino, Italy, but are actually human traffickers, who will dramatically impact the lives of the Amato and Armstrong families as they interact and evolve over time.

This evocative book engages the reader on multiple levels, as the author weaves a fascinating and well-plotted, multi-generational story, with unforgettable characters.
