Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to answer. However, when analyzing the context of the question and the character's name, we can consider that you are referring to the book "In the Time of the Butterflies" written by J. Alvarez.
This book portrays the Mirabal family's relationship with the tyrannical dictator Trujilo's regime in the Dominican Republic. The Mirabal family had a strong loyalty to Trujilo. This loyalty was so great that the Mirabal sisters receive books that show Trujilo as the savior of the country, moreover, they are obliged to participate in a celebration to the government of the dictator on the day of independence of the Dominican Republic.
Even in the face of this loyalty, the girls get involved in groups that seek the overthrow of the Trujillo government, but they do it hidden from their family and friends. This involvement causes the girls to suffer a lot of repressions, even being murdered as traitors to the government.
