The book tells the story of a child abandoned at birth, exploring themes of social issues, family, and compassion. It reflects the social landscape of its time, delving into the struggles faced by the impoverished in society.  The narrative centers on a woman named Joaquina who discovers a newborn baby, referred to as the engeitado (the abandoned child), left by the riverside. Despite her husband's reservations, she decides to care for the child, whom they name Simão. As Simão grows, he faces various hardships and societal prejudices, particularly due to his status as an orphan. He is raised in a loving environment, but is ultimately separated from his adoptive mother when he is sent to a Jesuit school, where he flourishes academically. However, misfortune befalls him as he endures harsh treatment as a servant in a store, which culminates in violence and his eventual death in a hospital. The story poignantly captures the themes of love, loss, and the harsh realities of societal neglect.
