San Antonio, 1836. Josie Wilkins loves John Gilbert, a Protestant preacher forbidden to practise openly under Mexican law, but she fears that the secrets of her past will make marriage impossible. Political tension turns into war before either can decide how much truth their relationship can bear.

The Battle of the Alamo places Josie and John inside a crisis whose outcome will determine whether they have any future together. Nearly two centuries later, refugee coordinator Kayleigh Hewland uncovers traces of their story while working with Mexican migrants. The dual narrative asks how promises made during violence can shape descendants who inherit only fragments of the original record.
