Katherine is a powerful family drama set against the haunting backdrop of 1944—the final Christmas of World War II.
It is the story of a woman’s unyielding strength in the face of fear, grief, and uncertainty. In a world darkened by war, Katherine is a luminous portrait of love, resilience, and the quiet heroism of motherhood.

Thirty-four-year-old Katherine Wilburn is the heart of her family, a woman battling to keep her household intact while the world outside threatens to tear it apart. With her eldest son, Donald, fighting on the war-torn fields of France, Katherine clings desperately to every shred of hope. She hasn’t received a letter from him in over a month, and the silence is deafening. Every knock at the door makes her heart race with dread, fearing it could be the telegram that would shatter her world.

At home, the battles are no less harrowing. Her husband, Aaron, once a kind and steady man, has sunk deeper into alcoholism with each passing month. The war has stolen his spirit, and now Katherine must search for help where there seems to be none, watching the man she married disappear into a haze of drink and bitterness.
Their sixteen-year-old daughter Anna lashes out in rebellion, trying to carve her own path in a world where nothing feels safe. Their youngest, ten-year-old Glenn, struggles in school and suffers quietly, his childhood innocence eroding as the weight of war creeps even into their small-town home.

Yet, in the face of it all, Katherine endures. She bakes, decorates, and sings carols through tears she doesn’t let her children see. She lights the tree with trembling hands, determined to give her family a Christmas worth remembering—even if it may be their last together. Her unwavering faith becomes the anchor in a storm that threatens to drown them all.
Katherine is not just a story—it is a testament. A tribute to the invisible battles fought by mothers, wives, and daughters in a time of global destruction. It is a story of love pushed to its limits, of hope stretched thin but never broken, and of a woman who stands tall in the shadows of history’s darkest hour.
