Inspired by actual events, Day of the Kings tells the little-known story of Enriquetta Faber, a courageous woman living a dangerous lie. In early 1800s Cuba, it is illegal for women to practice medicine. So Faber, the widow of a French surgeon, disguises herself as a man and becomes a respected doctor with a thriving practice. On the Day of the Kings—a day of celebration, drink, and dancing in the streets—secrets are revealed and lives overturned, and Faber is forced to make the hardest decision of her life.
