In 1917, sixteen-year-old Calla LaRocca is bound and determined to
go to a new secretarial college for women. Her immigrant father is
appalled at her interest in pursuing a career, but Calla is eager
to learn what she needs to fill a position vacated by a man doing
his duty to fight in the war.
While visiting her grandmother in Tennessee, Calla is
emotionally blindsided by David Sloan, a man whose ethnic
background is unacceptable to her family. David surreptitiously
teaches Calla many things, including how to maneuver a 1914 Mogul
tractor. He goes off to serve in the war and is wounded in battle.
When correspondence with her secret love comes to an abrupt end,
Calla realizes she must start her life anew.
When David is discharged from the United States Navy, he returns
stateside and learns that Calla has disappeared. Her family and
friends have no idea where she is. He searches feverishly for her
in her hometown and where she went to college. David returns to
Tennessee, where his wise old grandfather helps shine a light on
the young man's future.
Calla becomes the career girl she studied so hard to be, but
memories of David cling to her.
