Synopsis: ¡Una novela basada en hechos reales!

Las mujeres del Tío Sam narra las relaciones amorosas de mujeres colombianas de diferentes clases sociales, edades y procedencias que se involucraron con los norteamericanos que hacían parte de la ayuda de Estados Unidos al Plan Colombia.

Valeria es una joven profesional que una noche cualquiera el azar cambia su vida y la de sus amigas. Se relacionan en un exclusivo y lujoso bar en Bogotá con militares del los EE. UU., que son hombres bellos, fortachones y, sobretodo, herméticos
que no dejan pistas de sus actividades militares en Colombia. Sus atenciones las seducen y entran en un mundo desconocido que las llevan a vivir experiencias amorosas, eróticas, de prostitución, de esperanza y de decepción. Ellas están ilusionadas a alcanzar, a través del amor y la pasión, el “American Dream”.

Cada historia trae pasión, drama, ironía, realidad social, alegrías y lágrimas…
