At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Marcia, a young girl skilled in basket weaving, living with her family on the slopes of the "Mountain of Fire." The story paints a vivid picture of their daily lives, from the harvest routines to familial customs rooted in tradition. However, as ominous clouds gather overhead, signifying impending disaster, Marcia’s life takes a tumultuous turn when a volcanic eruption engulfs their village, forcing her family to confront both physical destruction and their determination to endure and rebuild amidst adversity.
