Hiding what looks like a priceless, gold-lettered book from the slum’s ruthless crime boss sets off a dangerous yet almost miraculous series of events that even entangles Claire, a beautiful French volunteer. The wisdom contained in passages of The Gypsy Book forever changes their lives and guides them through more than the rubble left by the horrific 1985 Mexico City earthquake.
