When her sister dies, Gertrudis makes a life-altering choice: she moves into her brother-in-law's home to raise his children as her own. Known to the family as Tía Tula, she embraces motherhood with a fierce and unwavering devotion, fulfilling a deep personal calling. But her vision of family is a radical one. She dedicates her entire being to the children, yet she refuses to step into her sister's place as a wife, rejecting marriage and the physical intimacy that comes with it, creating a complex and tense dynamic under the same roof.

This novel delves into the mind of a woman caught between an overwhelming maternal instinct and a profound aversion to the conventional roles society demands of her. The story of Tula is a powerful and unsettling exploration of sacrifice, repressed desire, and the struggle to define one's own existence against the pressures of tradition. It forces the reader to question the true nature of love, duty, and the immense sacrifices made in the name of family.
