Born to an unwed mother in 1916 and left with two great aunts who take in all the unwanted children in the family, Rona learns early that life can be happy or hard, but it is never predictable. Follow Rona as she moves from a poor but loving home to a posh boarding school and back; feel her anxiety when she is sent to America at fifteen to live with a mother she doesn't know and a stepfather who doesn't want her; see her determination as she travels back to Scotland to marry her pen pal; watch her bring three children into the world during the depression and raise them alone through the deprivations of the war years in Britain while her husband is off fighting WWII; see Rona and Johnny try to build a better life for their family when they immigrate to America in 1951. In many respects their circumstances improve, but life is still full of sharp edges.
