She raised her siblings after their father's death and their mother's prolonged illness, eventually dedicating years to caring for her invalid mother. After her mother's passing, Julia's sister, Ellen, expects her to become the housekeeper and nanny for her four children. This expectation, however, leads to an unexpected turning point in Julia's life when her niece and nephew arrive from California, offering her a chance at a future she never dared to dream of. This heartwarming story explores themes of family, sacrifice, and the possibility of finding happiness even after years of selfless devotion.
