VE Day 1945. As victory bells ring out across the country, war bride Ellie Burgess's happiness is overshadowed by grief — her charismatic Newfoundlander husband Thomas is still missing in action. Decades later, on September 11th 2001, her great-niece Sophie Parry is diverted to a small Newfoundland town and stays with her estranged Aunt Ellie, where the family's hidden truths begin to surface. A dual-timeline story of love, sacrifice, and resilience across the 20th century. source
