Robie is a happy child living in a happy home in the town of Santa Cruz until Auntie comes to live with them. When life with Auntie becomes unbearable, Robie longs for her family's farmhouse in the barrio of Sagrada where she enjoys the company of the neighborhood kids and where her parents, both teachers, farmed a tract of land with the help of their errand boy, Nick. He is her father's sidekick until one day he runs away. As life in Sagrada goes on, it becomes more lovable for Robie when she finds her perfect spouse in Fi-Jay, a childhood playmate. Her blissful life is dotted with drama, superstition, and eventual sad moments as all her loved ones pass away. Robie, now a teacher and farmer herself, lives alone with Manuela, her maidservant. The professional and agrarian life drives her to exhaustion and despair until one day after being gone for forty-six years and thought dead, Nick returns. What season will his momentous return bring into the lives of Sagrada?
