Caring Mammy

Teenage Katerina Petrova, a wealthy Bulgarian girl, discovers she's pregnant, a result of a fleeting romance. Faced with her father's fury, Katerina gives birth to a baby girl in secret, and her father arranges for the child to be taken away and adopted without her knowledge. Devastated, Katerina is banished from her family and home.

Katerina, now known as Katherine Pierce, spends the next several years traveling the world, trying to find her long-lost daughter. Her search takes her to various countries, adopting new identities, and never pausing long enough to put down roots. Additional heartbreak and setbacks don't deter Katherine's quest - they only intensify it.

One day, she finally tracks down her now-teenage daughter. Katherine learns her child, whom she names Maya, has been alone in the world since a young age and has had to resort to desperate measures to survive. Feeling responsible for her daughter's struggles, Katherine kidnaps Maya without a second thought.

Katherine's overwhelming need to protect her long-lost daughter drives her actions, and she quickly becomes obsessed with keeping Maya safe. Her once-fragile heart has healed only to transform itself into an all-consuming love for her daughter. To ensure Maya's safety, Katherine goes to great lengths to eliminate anyone who could possibly pose a threat to her daughter, and people close to Maya gradually disappear.

Desperate to shield Maya from her dark past and any danger, Katherine is willing to do anything - even if it means resorting to drastic, desperate measures that shatter her newfound family and the unbreakable bond she has forged with Maya. But, as the saying goes, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Katherine will soon discover that her desire to protect her daughter has spiraled into a toxic obsession and will ultimately lead both of them to a deadly reckoning.
