This collection of letters chronicles a remarkable, long-term friendship between two women who, despite differences of religion and ethnicity, have followed remarkably parallel paths from their first adolescent meeting in their native Chile to their current lives in exile as writers, academics, and political activists in the United States. Spanning more than thirty years (1966-2000), Agosín's and Sepúlveda's letters speak eloquently on themes that are at once personal and political—family life and patriarchy, women's roles, the loneliness of being a religious or cultural outsider, political turmoil in Chile, and the experience of exile.

"Estas son las memorias que escribió Ilse, mi madre adoptiva. Las redactó en alemán y yo hice la traducción al español. Traté de mantener su palabra simple, de mujer niña e inocente, a la que solo le permitieron recibir cuatro años de educación básica en las décadas que vivió prisionera de la secta. Ilse luchó hasta los últimos meses de su vida para que se hiciera justicia. Para que algún día se cerraran los portones de Colonia Dignidad. El macabro lugar donde niños, mujeres y hombres, alemanes, chilenos y de muchas otras nacionalidades fueron martirizados por Schäfer y los jerarcas de la secta."
