About this ebook

A LOVE STORY set against the backdrop of the First World War, the events in

Lethbridge unfold in disparate locales, from London to Boston, from Maine to

Niagara Falls, from the trenches of wartime France to the military hospitals of

England. Yet the lives of its three protagonists come together in one place: the

frontier western Canadian city of Lethbridge, Alberta.


Inspired by a true story, Lethbridge author Terry McConnell tells the tale of

an English lad abandoned by his family, and a young American escaping the

tyranny of his own father. Both come to Lethbridge in search of a future and find

themselves drawn to a pretty Scottish immigrant who struggles with her own sense

of destiny. What follows charts the future for all three in ways none of them could

have foreseen. This is their story.
