Details

In wartime London during the Blitz Lily has a whirlwind romance with a Canadian soldier. Lily falls in love with Joe, marries him and gets pregnant almost immediately, before he is sent off to fight. Lily, along with many other women in England, becomes classified as a war bride and for safety reasons emigrates to join her husband's family in Canada. Arriving with her baby daughter in Alberta, she is met with a hostile reception by her new mother-in-law and sister-in-law and begins a fresh, wholly alien rural life on a remote farm. Lily is a spirited young woman, who refuses to be ground down by her new circumstances and successfully fights to become part of a very insular community.
