She soon realizes, however, that conditions in the city are just as crushing and in short order she is thrown out of a boarding house, finds a job at textile factory that pays barely enough to eat, and is badly treated by two men. Grieving over the loss of her dreams, Juana vows to trust only herself for survival is this stirring story of the redeeming power of love.
