AN EPIC STORY AND RIVETING SAGA OF GENERATIONS; IN THE 18th CENTURY EUROPEAN SETTLERS BUILD THEIR FAMILES AND SETTLED IN THE ISLAND OF MAHARLIKA. A complex and compelling tale of their children's children, sheltered virgin daughters grown up in the remote town of Sansidor with happy childhood full of love, when they reached their marriageable age, convulsively seeking for husbands from foreign countries, wanted to discover the new world. Marrying strangers not for love but for security, prestige and idealism, at first moment found sex frustratingly nauseous and ending up in divorces. Their decisions- which was agonizing and desperate and taken in the divorce courts - where truths will be told, secrets revealed and reputations shattered.Yet something makes you suspect that life here can't be as perfect as it seems.On the other hand, ambitious and courageous sons marries daughters of fortune, their forbidden love that will never die, whose prohibition from wealthy parents only makes the forbidden fruit more enticing. Their despair of unfulfilled dream gave them time to linger that it would worth their while for a time to move on, their wish of fulfilment.Events of the past so often more than they truly were, most particularly to those who were not there.
