Except for the baby stirring inside her, Beth never felt so alone. Pregnant with the child of her British pilot fianc?killed in action before he ever learned he was to become a father-and disowned by her parents, she found herself in a desperate situation. But then, miraculously, came a glimmer of hope when her fianc?s best friend proposes a marriage in name only to take care of her and the baby. With no other options, Beth accepts his heroic proposal. But as the bombing in London worsens, John makes a difficult decision to send Beth to Canada to his parents where she can have the baby in safety and live with his parents on the farm. Thrust into a world she never imagined, she must navigate the cold welcome of in-laws who just recently discovered she existed, and a new way of life.
Determined to stand on her own feet, Beth begins to carve out a place for herself in a family and community that slowly starts to embrace her. Her world is shattered when a telegram arrives telling her that her husband is missing in action.
Filled with hope, danger and romance and the resilience of ordinary people thrust into extraordinary times, A Time to Live weaves a gripping tale of love shaped and reshaped by the sweeping forces of a world at war.
