Yet gradually, the family adjusts to life in Toronto. Roses parents find jobs and eventually buy a home, bettering themselves in their chosen country as have immigrants before them.

Against her fathers wishes and traditional Italian family values, Rose finds employment and furthers her education. Soon she meets her husband, and they start their own family. After her children reach school age, she finds responsible caregivers and rejoins the workforce. Her responsibilities increase with each job until she begins to think about starting her own business.
