Riassunto

It is the winter of 1941 in Fargo, North Dakota, when twenty-five-year-old Elinor kisses dreamy Darrow for the first time and believes she has just met her match. But there is one problem: she is already engaged to not one, but two, other men.

Elinor, unlike most of the women during the 1940s, believes there is more to accomplish in life than marriage and a family. As the world quickly changes, Darrow heads off to war while Elinor continues to string men along in order to avoid the dreaded title of "old maid." As Darrow's letters arrive from all over the world, Elinor struggles with letting go of the security of her suitors to pursue her dream of becoming Something Big. Now one question remains: will she follow her heart or her dream of finding independence and freedom?

Based on WWII letters, To Elinor is the poignant tale of how two people met and fell in love, despite all the challenges that accompanied living in and defending America in the 1940s.
