Movies like The Willow Tree

Tom Rawling, a young farm hand, lives with his mother and his cousin Ruth, to whom he is engaged. Tom cannot get work. He receives an offer to go to the Canadian Northwest. His mother advises him to accept it. Before going, she asks him if he ever gets a shelter of his own in the new country to plant before the door a willow tree, as they have before their cottage at home, to keep old memories alive. He promises her to do so. He prospers in Canada and is able to buy a small cabin. He plants the willow and writes his mother that he hopes to have her and Ruth soon with him. It is a severe winter. Tom gets caught in a storm, is half frozen and falls down a steep bank, striking head and losing his memory from the accident. A year passes and they receive no letters at home, and know nothing of Tom. Mrs. Rawling is taken ill and dies on her death bed. She gives Ruth some money and bids her to go to the Northwest and seek Tom. Ruth goes, and through seeing the willow growing at the door of Tom's cabin, she finds him. By recalling the associations of the willow tree he finally recovers his memory. Restored to health, he and Ruth are soon married.
