World War II is over. Seventeen year old Rose Groom argues with her widowed mother and the family priest about marrying a young Canadian soldier, John Dillingham. Rose eventually prevails and marries John before setting out on the Queen Mary to Canada with hundreds of other young brides. When she arrives in Halifax, to her horror she finds that John had fallen ill with tuberculosis while on his demob ship home and has been taken to Montreal. After a brief visit, she travels alone on the cross-Canada railway to be greeted by the in-laws she has never met. John's mother is cool towards her, and the problems are just beginning. Culture shock, homesickness, and then pregnancy at nineteen are only a start.
