Born as a result of a sexual indiscretion in 1866 between a Chilean aristocrat and a nun, Emilia never knew much about her biological father. Her mother, a beauty, married a man who raised Emilia as his own and encouraged her to be independent. When she discovers dime novels, Emilia decides to try to write some, but uses a pen name since women as writers weren't respected. After her success, she decides to become a journalist, interviewing at Hearst.  She is paired with another reporter, Eric, and is soon sent to be a war correspondent, along with Eric, in Chile.  There, she pursues meeting her biological father, and embarks on a spiritual journey to find herself. 
A beautiful story of love, resilience, and determination.
