to court her. Astrid is attracted to him, and when the opportunity
unexpectedly opens for her to go to Chicago for medical training, she
finds it difficult to leave. Love blossoms through their letters, but
upon arriving back home, she makes a heartbreaking discovery. Will she
have to give up love to pursue her dream?
