As Aster navigates the complexities of her identity as an Ethiopian Christian woman, she encounters a cast of unforgettable characters who challenge her beliefs and push her to question everything she knows. There's her father, a devout priest who struggles to reconcile his faith with the changing world around him. Her mother, a strong-willed woman who defies societal norms and fights for her daughter's education. And her childhood friend, a Muslim boy named Mohammed, who teaches her the importance of tolerance and understanding.

Through Aster's eyes, we witness the rise of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the arrival of European missionaries, and the devastating impact of colonialism. We see the Ethiopian people's struggle for independence, their resilience in the face of adversity, and their unwavering faith in God.
