Her luck changes when in a church lottery she wins a one-week jaunt to Portugal. On a cruise to the Douro Valley, part of her travel itinerary, she meets JERRY FEINBERG, a divorced 55-year-old professor of Biology, at Harvard, who is spending time in Portugal as part of his sabbatical. After spending few days together Jerry is thrilled when she invites him to visit her in Florida. Despite initial hiccups, including Jerry's lack of experience with children, after multiple visits, Jerry's attachment to the twins, Lara and Peter, begins to grow.

Soon he realizes that Maria was keeping the secret to protect her children and implores her again to move with him.A year after their fortuitous meeting in Portugal, Maria and Jerry get married and move to his home in the Boston suburb of Belmont.
