Winter, 1539:

Too ill to travel from her London home, María de Salinas writes a letter to her daughter Katherine, the

young duchess of Suffolk. A letter telling of her life: a life intertwined with her friend and cousin Catalina

of Aragon, the youngest child of Isabel of Castile.

It is a letter to help her daughter understand the choices

she has made in her life, beginning from the time she

keeps her vow to Catalina

to share her life of exile in

England.

Friendship.

Betrayal.

Hatred.

Forgiveness.

Will love win out in the

end?
