Newspaper reporter Chelsea Faust runs marathons for fun and spends most of her spare time in the darkroom. She's working for a small weekly newspaper now, but she hopes to win the Pulitzer Prize someday. At 28, she lives alone and lets no one tell her what to do, much to the chagrin of her Portuguese-American mother and her German-American father.Enter Simão Freitas, an immigrant from the Azores who brings with him old-country views about how men should be in charge and women should obey their husbands. He is part entrepreneur, part fish market worker, supporting his mother, sister and grandmother and dreaming of making enough money to build a big house in the hills.When they meet at a Portuguese festival, the attraction is instant, but any chance at a future together appears doomed as Simão battles memories of a painful loss while Chelsea pursues a news story headlong into a situation that could cost her life.We follow Chelsea into the colorful world of Little Portugal, where she becomes fascinated by the stories she hears of immigrants seeking a new life in America and begins to value the Azorean heritage of her ancestors.
