Diana Robles has dreams-ones she'd get to just as soon as those of her family have been realized. It took nearly three years of hard work in Canada to see her siblings through college and now, with the promise of a chance to finally live her own life, destiny beckons her to a large and lonely house for one last extra cleaning assignment before her long-overdue trip back home. Little by little, she not only cleans the home of a man who hardly has any time to enjoy the rewards of his long hours, she also begins an odd friendship with him that will make her reconsider the priorities she'd made a long time ago. But before Diana can decide what her heart really wants, she's called home to the Philippines to hold up her family through an unexpected crisis. Amidst her loud but loving family, the traces of her old life and the calling of the new, Diana will find herself wondering where exactly the home of a heart is and whether she can find it-if it doesn't find her first.
