Seven-year-old Chula lives in Bogotá, where the threat of kidnappings, car bombs, and assassinations hover just outside the neighborhood walls. Petrona, a thirteen-year old girl from the city's guerrilla-occupied slum, moves in as her family’s live-in maid.

Chula and Petrona strike a friendship, but as both girls' families scramble to maintain stability amidst the rapidly escalating conflict, Petrona and Chula get entangled in a web of secrecy that will force them to choose between sacrifice and betrayal.

Inspired by the author's own life, Fruit of the Drunken Tree is told through the alternating perspectives of the willful Chula and the achingly hopeful Petrona, in two different but inextricable coming-of-age stories.
