Old Barker couple long for a baby girl and face the heartbreak as their son Henry grows into a capable farmer. They hope he will marry a nearby farmer’s daughter and stay near, but the Great War changes their plans as Henry goes overseas with his regiment.
The narrative follows Henry’s return home from France with a French girl named Angelique as a Christmas bride. His parents Ma and Old John Barker face heartbreak and fear over adapting to a foreign daughter-in-law and the prospect of losing their son to life in a city, while clinging to prayers for his safety.
Ma Barker prepares a festive Christmas at the farm as Henry returns with his bride Angelique and infant daughter Angephy. The home fills with fir boughs and holiday dishes while old men reminisce, and the family embraces the surprise SNC baby who survived the war.
