Destinations: Spain and Chile

Civil war has broken out following General Franco’s overthrow of the Spanish government, forcing pregnant widow Roser, her brother-in-law Victor, and hundreds of thousands of others to make a treacherous journey over the mountains of Spain to the French border. Traveling to Chile to further distance themselves from the war, Roser and Victor start over as refugees on a new continent. Their new life is full of obstacles and trials, but one thing remains the same—their dedication and devotion to Spain.
