Just when her family starts believing that she is dead and that they can expect a rich heritage, Tieta returns from São Paulo to her native village in Bahia, which she had been forced to leave long ago because of her involvement with a goatherd. Believed to be fabulously rich--and nobody knows how--she brings, to the great disappointment of her family, a young stepdaughter and heir.
