Summary: "This story happened a long time ago, when our country was being ruled by the Spaniards. Rosang Taba works as a servant in the home of the Governor-General and his wife Carmen. One afternoon, Rosa gathers enough courage to challenge the commander of the Spanish forces, Jaime Villareal, to a race after hearing him say the Filipinos - or indios - "are lazy, boorish, unorganized, have no courage, no morals, no civilization. She defeated Señor Jaime Villareal and with the gift of gold given to her by Carmen, the Governor-General's wife, Rosang Taba did three things: she purchased her family's freedom, visited a mountain that figured constantly in her dreams, and married a man who could not drawn in the irrepressible bounty of her heart. She never raced again." -- Back cover
