This is a fickle goddess who sometimes grants him the gift of healing and gives him the strength to lead his fellow race in the fight for freedom against oppressors who have succeeded in enslaving their bodies, but not their souls.

As she immerses herself in the finances of the company and in the past of this very rich family, the young woman discovers the origins of her fortune and decides to launch a legal battle in favor of dignity and justice, which her mother and all deserve. the women who gave their lives in the service of whites who never treated them as equals.
