Along the way, she befriends an adorable girl named Lucita who not only captures her heart but also helps absolve the pain of never knowing a daughter.

These difficulties force Anna to look deeper and deeper within her soul, facing the ultimate question … Once I learn to love myself, will it really be enough?
