It all began with a rumor: an Indian girl who sang with the voice of an angel. A tiny girl, perhaps only nine years old. No one believed it at first, but the rumor persisted. Finally one day a runner arrived bringing news…
And so the journey of the woman and the girl—Sister Mãe da Doçura and Yema, the Caeté Indian child acclaimed as The Cantora—begins to unfold as perilous circumstance compels them to become agents of fate, changing the destinies of all who cross their path.
