After the death of her widowed mother in 1914, Marguerite Selena, 15, chooses to live in Naples with her wealthy guardian over village life with a tyrant brother. Events during the war begin a constant struggle of survival without family and money. Fluent in English, she finds work in the office building leased by the American Army as Italian interpreter for Captain Keith Fields who hates anything Italian, especially Italian women. Then, he meets Marguerite. In spite of the obstacles, they marry.
In America, Keith's ambition to be a millionaire before the age of forty plunges his inherited factory into huge debt. An unscrupulous loan tycoon enters the conflict. Marguerite's effort to save Keith's mortgaged plants by any means backfire.
At the end of World War 11 revealed secrets jeopardize the marriage. Marguerite, now 46, questions if love and happiness can endure at any age even to those who accept the challenge. In her return to Naples, she finds the answer.
