Victoria’s mother, Ella, left her and her hard‑working father, Edward, in Iowa for New York to escape poverty, abandoning 15‑year‑old Victoria. After Ella’s departure, Edward died in a tragic accident, and her grandfather, Silas, succumbed to cancer a year later—forcing Victoria to live with her mother and Ella’s boyfriend, Dave, whose toxic attitude led him to leave and worsen Ellen’s neglect.
Undeterred, Victoria earned a scholarship to NYU, met Kevin at a café, and became pregnant. But Kevin dumped her when he found out, and Ella refused to help. Determined, Victoria completed her degree and returned to her grandfather’s dilapidated Iowa home.
There, she ran into Tim, a childhood friend who helped her clean the place. While restoring Silas’s old sofa, they discovered a hidden chest containing gold, jewels, and a letter from Silas leaving her an inheritance. This gift enabled Victoria to renovate the house and build a nursery.
