Plot summary
In 1940s London, Lily meets Charlie, a Canadian soldier from Springhill, Alberta, at a dance hall, and they marry before he is sent overseas. As he leaves, she tells him she thinks she is pregnant, and she has their daughter, Lindy, alone. A letter then summons her to Canada with other war brides, and she sails with her baby while her friend Sophie, married to another Canadian soldier, travels too. In Montreal the two part, and Lily goes on to Alberta expecting the ranch Charlie described. She finds a small farm, his mother Betty, and his sister Sylvia, who receive her with disapproval. Charlie's pay now comes to her, and the family has not heard from him in months.
