Swept up in a whirlwind courtship, Katja and Wasyl start life anew within a Ukrainian settlement of Western Canada. The dusty Canadian prairies promise hope and self-reliance, but when battle breaks out between the old world and the brand new, their newfound stability is shattered. Rumors of the internment of Ukrainian-Canadians haunt the brand new settlers. Would the united states they love betray them such as this? An occurrence throws the few and their young children into turmoil, and Katja faces the chance of long lasting a Canadian winter season without Wasyl by her aspect. The close community of Edna-Star bands together during this attempting time, but the help of the suave Dr. Smith holds its own danger. Will the closely-knit family be able to weather this parting, or will they become reunited before all hope is lost?
