1933. Eighteen-year-old Molly Ryan dreams of becoming a journalist, but instead accepts any job to help her family survive the Great Depression. The only joy in her life is watching baseball with her best friend Hannah and her secret crush on Hannah's older brother Max, which will grow to become a mutual love
. A decade later, when the entire world was embroiled in World War II, Canadian soldiers - both Jews and Protestants - were already standing side by side against Germany, Japan and other invading powers. Canadians show their dignity on the battlefield, in Japanese captivity with its horrific torture, and after returning home, when they, as crippled veterans, have to go through the difficult path of adaptation to civilian life.
Molly and Max find themselves in the centre of the action.
Six years later, the Great Depression has subsided, but a new war is on the horizon...
