Playing out as a scintillating story with unexpected twists, “The Girl on the Trail” explores the severe and overwhelming shock of discovering uncomfortable truths about those we look up to, the security of family, the joy and satisfaction of love, the devastation of betrayal and loss, and the comfort of loyalty in our lives.

The teenage Tatiana is certain she has her future mapped out: She would find love when she becomes a young woman, she would live a loving life all through college, and she would marry the knight who would secure her heart. But then, her compromised mother shakes her faith in the future, so that when her knight reveals his shining armor, she gets offended instead. Feeling betrayal is lurking around everywhere, she sets out to serve God as a nun, just like her venerated aunt.

Sancho, her unfortunate knight, is unwavering in his determination to stir her back on track to realize her dream. The rigors of convent life help her delve deeper into her heart and soul so that it only takes a friend and her sister to make her see the different shades of reality. However, it is the loss of a loved one that opens the floodgates of her emotions. It happens at a time that Sancho is there to help her come to terms with her past. She stops questioning and starts acknowledging ― a journey that may bring her the happiness of her dreams…or eternal grief.
