Set in a small Canadian town during WW1, the McKenna family leads a quiet life. Catherine McKenna has always wanted more. But at seventeen and coping with a heart condition, Catherine has been taught to control her emotions, to never get too anxious, and to live life cautiously. Now with the return of her brother, the talk of loved ones leaving to war, and the arrival of guests in the McKenna house, Catherine begins to question everything she thought she knew; including her love for a childhood beau. Catherine's heart suddenly becomes entangled with feelings she thought she could never have, with a love she thought she was never capable of. Will Catherine be able to endure the changes to her family, to her life, or will she succumb to the consequences of her own fate?
