Description
Rat River, March 1941
The sky is unleashed. With the snowstorm preventing Eliette and Marianne from reaching the logging site, Pauline, despite her inexperience, is forced to help her mother deliver the baby. Hours of unbearable pain follow one another, and the scene turns into a nightmare. The teenager is consumed by guilt afterward, to the point where she considers giving up her job as a caregiver. But the spark still burns...
Back in Dolbeau in the spring, the L'heureux family's troubles are not over yet. While Alice slowly recovers from a painful bereavement and Paul, the eldest, is finally reunited with his sweet Anaïs, weakened by illness, the uncompromising priest Lajoie keeps a close eye on things. Luckily, the general merchant, treated by Pauline and Marianne following a silly accident, loudly extols the talents of his healers. And patients flock to the dispensary.
Dazzled by the tangible dream of a fulfilling career, will Pauline, who knows she is cherished by Roméo, agree to devote her future to him? Will the attraction she feels for Aimé, ever since he so kindly comforted her, be nothing more than a flash in the pan, or will it rather extinguish the flame of her vocation?
