The Story of Adele H.
What kind of woman would wait her whole life for one man...? And what kind of man would deny her...?

Though he spurns her affections, she follows him to Nova Scotia and takes on the alias of Adèle Lewly. Albert continues to reject her, but she remains obsessive in her quest to win him over.
