一年一度的海盗节即将举行的前夕,黛兹瑞带着她的新婚丈夫瑞德回到了阔别十几年的家乡——迪勒那海滩。和以居住白人为主的林肯海滩一样,迪瑞那海滩不仅是大西洋海岸线上风景最为优美的海滩之一,也是当地黑人心中的一块圣地,因为,据生活在这里的长者说,早在一百多年前,是他们的祖辈把曾经的沼泽建造成今天这样一个美不胜收的圣地。
尽管离开家乡已有十几年的时间,但当初因为未婚先孕的旧事依然在熟悉的几个朋友之间被再次提起。然而,与不堪回忆的未婚先孕这件往事相比,一件更为重大的事情正在整个迪勒那海滩悄悄地进行。

落后国家的人们很friendly也很canny(一切看在钱的份上),她们把这帮美国女人招待的很好,让她们无休止的等待,很明显在她们这个国家抱走一个小孩不用什么手续也不是很麻烦,但是她们装作好像事情很大条的样子留着这帮女人从中挣钱取酒店费和餐费。
这些身处异地,被各种问题(主要是与领养相关的意识形态的问题,诸如宗教、伦理、法律)困扰的女人自然而然的走到了一起,她们同病相怜,又各自有各自的立场,甚至有些人对别人怀有狭隘的敌意,大概是老认为别人抱养了孩子等于自己失去了一个机会的那个味道(在我看来这些女人都很不一样...
