Inhaltsangabe:

The life story of Arroxa Caminoa Bidegain, a young Basque girl born in 1864. She grew up in the enclave of Bosate, Spain; her father was the town miller. A serious childhood injury set Arroxa's life on an unexpected path, one that would require strength of heart and spirit. The story is told against the backdrop of the beautiful Pyrenean mountains, the humble sheep herding community of Bozarte, and the rich cultural traditions of the Basque people.
