Summary:

"Inspired by a true story, this uplifting wartime drama stars Anna Friel as Lily, a vivacious war bride and mother who leaves war-torn London to begin a new life on her new husband Charlie's family's farm in Canada. The spirited Lily finds herself at odds with her remote, rural surroundings, and struggles to be accepted by Charlie's embittered mother (Academy Award winner Brenda Fricker, and resentful sister Molly Parker). As the three strangers become a true family, their faith and love are put to the supreme test when Charlie returns from the war."
