In 1914, a troubled new mother makes the heartbreaking decision to abandon her baby to an orphanage in Spain. Vicenta is taken in by nuns who successfully find her a christian home with a loving mother and father in the beautiful southern fishing villa of Rota.

Vicenta's wealthy parents raise her in a paradise where the white houses are adorned with colorful flowers pots hanging from the windows. Life is ideal until tragedy strikes the family sending Vicenta's mother into a debilitating depression. Vicenta perseveres with the help of a loving nanny and her friend, ABC, who is her anchor in life. Vicenta finds love and romance, but it doesn't come without tragic consequences. Throughout her troubled life, she relies on her sense of humor, faith, love and friends to get her through tough times; all the while, in the shadow of her mind, wondering about her birth mother.
