In 1881, MARY BOND and her husband JOHN sailed with their two young boys to America to seek their fortune. Having been disinherited and thrown out of the family piano manufacturing business in Liverpool by his father, John must now seek other employment. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes and the young father leaves Mary to cope alone in their cold apartment in Chicago. She turns to what she knows best and secures a place singing with an opera company.
Along the way, performing across the states of America, she takes the stage-name of WILFRIDA and meets fellow Englishman HENRY FAIRWEATHER, another musician pursuing a better life.
They set up in business together, combining their talents to form The Fairweather Opera Company. As they work and travel together their relationship grows, but unbeknown to Wilfrida, Henry has a secret he keeps tight to his heart.
Mary tells us her story, revealing her own secrets. Her life is full of music, joy and laughter but with more than a touch of anger, sadness, betrayal and broken promises.
