Summary
One in this series of dramatic specials presented by Hallmark. James Costigan's original drama takes place in Dublin in 1919 during the Irish Rebellion. Julie Harris stars as a young woman, Brigid Mary Mangan, who, after her father, brother, and fiance have been killed in the conflict, joins a religious order. She is assigned to an English hospital where she meets Kenneth Boyd, a critically wounded officer. Brigid Mary is determined to see that Kenneth recovers and his faith in God is restored. Determined that the wounded Kenneth Boyd, an agnostic English officer, will get well, Brigid Mary regains her belief in God. When Kenneth recovers and proposes, she declines, deciding to renew her vows and remain in the Order of the Daughters of Charity. Includes commercials.
