Criada por su carįoso padrastro, Emilia se convertir̀ en una joven brillante de gran personalidad, aut̤noma e independiente, que desafiar̀ las normas sociales de su tiempo para profesar su verdadera pasi̤n y vocaci̤n: la escritura. Con tan solo diecisiete ąos, publicar̀ novelas de aventuras bajo un pseud̤nimo masculino. Pero, enseguida, su mundo ficticio se le quedar̀ pequęo y decidir̀ optar al puesto de periodista que se le ofrece en el peri̤dico local para vivir de cerca la realidad. Tiempo despǔs, se le presentar̀ la oportunidad de viajar como corresponsal a la ferviente guerra civil en Chile y no dudar̀ en tomarla. Junto al avezado periodista Eric Whelan, Emilia se encontrar̀ una naci̤n en quiebra, al borde del abismo. Mientras cubre el conflicto b̌lico entre el presidente Balmaceda y el congreso rebelde, aprovechar̀ la estancia en el pa̕s para explorar sus v̕nculos con la familia Del Valle y poder, al fin, conocer a su padre. Sus reportajes la situar̀n en el centro de la guerra, soportando situaciones de terrible violencia en el campo de batalla, en el hospital de sangre y en la c̀rcel, donde varias veces se debatir̀ entre la vida y la muerte. Al tiempo, vivir̀ -y sufrir̀- el amor y conocer̀ tambǐn, entre bosques, lagos y volcanes, una tierra donde no llega el horror de la guerra y donde, tal vez, acabe descubriendo no solo su destino sino su propia identidad."--Provided by publisher.
