Un libro sagrado del pueblo maya k'iche' sobrevivió a la destrucción de los escritos de la cultura maya por religiosos españoles. El Popol Vuj fue transcrito en el alfabeto latino en 1558 y traducido al español en 1701. La narración traza las tradiciones y los orígenes mitológicos del pueblo k'iche' además de contar su historia, su cronología y la sucesión de generaciones de reyes y señores hasta la conquista. Contado para niños por el eminente antropólogo maya, Víctor Montejo.

La niña al centro de esta historia vive entre dos mundos: su casa, donde vive con su papá latinoamericano y su abuela norteamericana rodeada de libros, cosas bonitas y mucho dinero. Y la casa de su otra abuela, católica, donde las posesiones materiales no son especialmente importantes. No es fácil reconciliar los dos mundos.
