Maria Clara Monroe, the namesake of a literary heroine yet burdened by a different reality, has it all on the surface: wealth, beauty, and the admiration of others.  However, a storm rages beneath the facade.  Haunted by witnessing her mother's murder, the scars of abuse from her stepmother, and the sting of schoolyard bullying, Maria Clara craves one thing above all else -  unconditional love and acceptance.

Born on the wrong side of social norms, Maria Clara, like her namesake in Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere, carries the weight of illegitimacy.  Forced to constantly prove her worth to her wealthy father, she embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery, love, and forgiveness. Can she finally shed the burdens of the past and embrace a future  free from pain?
