Twenty year old Lulu Ferris visits her grandmother, Louise, to discuss her love life —Lulu, already engaged to be married, has suddenly fallen in love with a man some years older than she. Louise contemplates the problem by reflecting on her own past and the two loves she experienced. She also ponders her relationship with her two sisters and the effect of war on families.
Set in Ottawa, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Vancouver, B.C., the story covers 70 years beginning from the outset of the First World War to the present (the 80s where Lulu’s dilemma may or may not be resolved).

I am a 76-year-old widow who has been
engaged in storytelling in one form or
another since I was a child. I grew up
in a small town, moved to the city at 16,
and then trained as a nurse in a large city
hospital after I finished high school. I
practiced my profession for only a short
time before marrying a widower with
three lively children. We had a son of our own, traveled
extensively, and a happy marriage of nearly 49 years. I live
alone, maintaining close ties with my family, and write at my
leisure.
