The story revolves around Carlita, the beautiful and spirited daughter of Mrs. de Barryos, who believes she bears the weight of a familial curse stemming from her lineage as a descendant of Pocahontas. The curse is said to bring unhappiness and tragedy to the girl descendants who dare to love, an ominous warning from her mother that haunts Carlita as she navigates her life, relationships, and desires. The opening portion of the novel introduces Mrs. de Barryos, an invalid proud of her Pocahontas lineage, and her daughter Carlita, who is described as a stunning girl caught in a web of her mother's fears about the so-called curse. The narrative presents a tense mother-daughter dynamic filled with concern and an impending sense of doom regarding Carlita's prospects for love and happiness. Mrs. de Barryos believes that sending Carlita to live with a friend upon her death is essential to protect her daughter from the curse. As the story unfolds, Carlita's internal struggle with love, identity, and familial expectations is established, setting the stage for the drama and emotional conflict that will follow.
