Lethbridge: A tale of love in a time of war by Terry McConnell

Each of the main characters in the story - based on the true lives of the writer's grandparents - came to Canada via a different path, and each played a role at a time when Canada came of age: the First World War. Harry came to Canada as a "Barnardo Boy," who ran with rum runners before becoming a police officer in what was then still the wild west. Hettie emigrated from Scotland with her parents, who became hotel owners and welcomed many of the west's settlers. Stanley left Maine and ventured north, eager to sign up to fight before the U.S. entered the First World War. Their lives - and their love story - intersected in Lethbridge. This is a fictional story based on true events in the author's family history.
