Marta Schneider, hoping to prove her father wrong in his prediction that she will never be more than a servant, leaves her home in Switzerland to pursue her dream of owning an inn, but she must make many sacrifices when she marries Niclas Waltert in Canada and begins her own family, and in her efforts to make her children strong, finds herself behaving more like her abusive father than her loving mother, especially with her daughter, Hildemara Rose.
