Minerva narrates the sixth chapter, which begins in 1949. Three years after graduating Inmaculada, she is bored at home and decides that she wants to attend law school. She discovers that her father has four illegitimate daughters and that he has been hiding Lío's letters to her. Then the family goes to an outdoor party hosted by Trujillo, and Minerva slaps Trujillo when he becomes frisky while they are dancing. It begins to rain, and the Mirabals leave the party, even though it is against the law to do so. Minerva forgets her purse, which contains Lío's letters. Enrique Mirabal is soon arrested. After many weeks, Minerva and her mother secure his release by apologizing to Trujillo personally.
