There he runs into the little boy he helped save. His next assignment is a home for children orphaned by the Blitz. John Davies get mad and gets his journalistic edge back. One night during an air raid, John witnesses a mother carrying her dead daughter, believing she is only asleep and later helps rescuers pull a three year old boy out of the rubble, during which he absently pockets the boy's toy lamb. John remains in London to report on the blitz, but the quality of his reporting has decidedly lost its edge. Nora leaves the hospital a bitter, detached woman and leaves for the US a few days later. But after a bomb hits the hotel she is in, Nora loses the baby and the doctor tells John she is no longer able to have children. John wants Nora to return to the US, but she wants to stay by his side, despite the Blitz. They have just arrived in London from France in 1940 and the Davies' are expecting their first baby. Based on a 1941 novel by William Lindsay White, Journey for Margaret tells the story of American journalist John Davies and his wife Nora, a very happy, in-love couple.
