Plot

Tells the story of Victoriano, a landowner and businessman, father of three daughters (Diana, Casandra and Constanza), victims of lies and heartaches which prevents, him from being with the love of his life. She has also sacrificed her happiness, as she becomes the victim of an act of violence condemning her to live the shadows the Santos family. The daughters of Victoriano each struggle in their own way, to find their respective happiness falling in love with three different types of men, not liked by their. This brings conflict into the Santos family. Diana, the eldest daughter is the one who comes to resemble her father. Casandra is sensible and independent, determined to make her way alone; Constanza is the younger, rebellious daughter who is eager to live her life to the fullest. The rest of the characters are composed of friends and foes of the Santos family, one of whom harbors a secret and resentment and when it is revealed, it will shake the entire family to the core. This is the second attempt by Televisa in producing this series. The 2003 version began production strangely enough without originally being called "Las Amazonas". Midway through production, executives decided to change the title. This created all sorts of confusion as not even the actors back new the name of the product. Matters were not helped as the script called for the character of Victoriano to affectionately call his daughters Amazons, due to their ability to ride thoroughbred horses in the ranch. The soap opera finally come up with a name: "Niña Amada Mía" ("My beloved girl") as the production wanted to vertically integrate popular songs making he public identify the song with their drama. The theme song was sung by Mexican superstar Alejandro Fernandez.
