In 1948, divorced mother of four Stella McCandless--much to ì the horror of her straight-laced Victoria family--fell in love ì with and married several-years-younger (and several inches ì shorter) Bob Smith, a nomadic trapper and self-professed flaunter ì of convention. Being herself of a rebellious nature and craving ì release from the strictures of her traditional society lifestyle, ì Stella packed up her two younger children and followed Bob from ì Smithers to the Yukon and back to the Cariboo as he tried to find ì his fortune and settle into family life. Bob's sudden and ì untimely death in 1956 left Stella with their young son and the ì challenge of coming to terms with the loss of her 'north star.' ì Stella's is the story of a woman whose odyssey of independence ì led to the discovery of inner strength and the courage to live ì her life her own way.
