Cuando una estudiante es asignada el trabajo de completar un árbol familiar y solo puede contar tres generaciones atrás, Abuela junta a toda la familia, y la estudiante aprende que hace 400 años, en 1619, sus antepasados fueron robados y traídos a los Estados Unidos por esclavizadores europeos. Pero antes de eso, ellos tenían un hogar, una tierra, un idioma.

La estudiante aprende cómo la gente que dice haber nacido sobre el agua sobrevivió.
Cómo sembraron sueños y esperanza.
Cómo aprendieron nuevas palabras
para amor
para amigo
para familia
para alegría
para crecer

para hogar.
