description: Edith is full of regret when her young man, fighting at the front as the Great War rages, is reported missing, presumed dead. For their last meeting had been quarrelsome when she'd refused his advances to make love... During her grief she meets Alfred, a passionate man - and she's soon pregnant. They marry, but Alfred, although a kind man and a good father, lets money run through his fingers, and Edith spends her marriage regretting that he isn't her first love... When Alfred dies, Edith becomes a housekeeper, and discovers what love really means - finally realizing that she's always been chasing a dream.
