Lucia loses her husband and then her daughter to AIDS. When her husband dies, her inlaws try to take away her home and all her possessions, and remarry her to her brother-in-law, according to Shona tradition. When her daughter falls ill no one offers to help her care for her. Eventually Lucia finds solace and hope in her church activities, where she counsels others in her same situation.
