During World War II, the usuaIly sleepy town of Gander, Newfoundland is abuzz with activity as the stopover point for many flights between North America and the European Theatre. Teenager Terry Fleming, who lives just outside of Gander, is feeIing confIicted. He wants to work in Gander so that he can have access to the plethora of movie stars and Gls fIying though the area. His neighbour, Laurie Dwyer, who works at the American base in Gander in the service sector, states she can get a job for Terry, perhaps as a waiter. Terry has a secret crush on Laurie. But Terry aIso wants to stay at home and take care of his aiIing mother, VioIet, who is eventuaIIy diagnosed with diphtheria. Terry and Violet have a speciaI bond especiaIIy over their love of the popular entertainment of the day. Frank - Terry's father and VioIet's husband - doesn't quite understand it but appreciates this bond between mother and son. Terry dreams that much of the activity at the Gander Airlines HoteI is fodder for stories to his mother, stories of gIamorous movie stars invoIved with the USO, Gl's having flings with locaI girIs who are Iooking to escape Gander, and war espionage. |
