In the summer of 1914, the air is thick with anticipation as the Steward family prepares for the joyous union of Hettie Steward and Geoffrey Bartlett. The event will officially bond together two families that have interconnected for decades. Little does the family know it stands on the brink of upheaval.

A bond that promised new beginnings is shattered as the ominous clouds of war begin to gather over Europe. Hettie and her spirited brother Freddie make the bold decision to join the Canadian Army Medical Corps, a choice that ignites conflict at home and fractures the family’s once-solid foundation. Amidst the turmoil, the Stewards find themselves facing more than just an external war: a lifelong friendship faces its toughest test, two marriages unravel, and the deadly influenza epidemic threatens to consume the community.

Will the Stewards withstand the pressure, or will the tides of war tear them apart forever?

Set against the backdrop of Canada’s home front during World War I, Those Left Behind is the second installment in a gripping trilogy that offers a heartfelt glimpse into everyday lives transformed by sacrifice and strength.

Join the Stewards in this a poignant glimpse of those who stayed behind, where resilience is tested and the true meaning of home is redefined. Discover the indomitable spirit that guides them through history’s darkest hours.
