Plot
In Baltimore, Elizabeth ("Liz") and John Andrew MacDonald had only been married for a year when John enlisted to fight in World War I. Just before Christmas in 1918, while awaiting word of his return after the war's end, Liz is notified by telegram of John's death. At the same time, she learns she is pregnant. She is supported during this difficult time by Lawrence "Larry" Hamilton, the owner of the chemical company at which she works, and, after the baby is born, Liz agrees to marry Larry, though she warns him that she could never love him the way she loved John. They raise the baby, named John Andrew after his father (though he goes by "Drew"), as Larry's, and later have a son, Brian, together.
