Toys cost at least double, metal toys are few, and some popular items like trains and lanterns are largely unavailable due to government restrictions and material shortages.
In a Maine town Katherine Fenway hosts a war welcome. She invites a stranger, Bob Lorimer, home for dinner. After sobering illness and shell shock, she tends him as nurse, and he becomes a part of her household and life.
In a tense scene Katherine and a returning soldier share a guarded moment as coffee cools and unspoken bonds form. He asks if she would have chosen another, while Maria sings nearby and light from the south window brightens the room.
