Growing up isn’t easy for little Carolyn Arundel. With her mother, Hildemara, quarantined to her room with tuberculosis, Carolyn forms a special bond with her oma Marta, who moves in to care for the household. But as tensions between Hildie and Marta escalate, Carolyn believes she is to blame. When Hildie returns to work and Marta leaves, Carolyn and her brother grow up as latchkey kids in a world gripped by the fear of the Cold War.
College offers Carolyn the chance to find herself, but a family tragedy shatters her newfound independence. Rather than return home, she cuts all ties and disappears into the heady counterculture of San Francisco. When she reemerges two years later, more lost than ever, she reluctantly turns to her family to help rebuild a life for her and her own daughter, May Flower Dawn.
Just like Carolyn, May Flower Dawn develops a closer bond with her grandmother, Hildie, than with her mother, causing yet another rift between generations. But as Dawn struggles to avoid the mistakes of those who went before her, she vows that somehow she will be a bridge between the women in her family rather than the wall that separates them forever.
Spanning from the 1950s to present day, Her Daughter’s Dream is the emotional final chapter of an unforgettable family saga about the sacrifices every mother makes for her daughter—and the very nature of unconditional love.

Thanks Francine for writing another wonderful,uplifting book. Purchased Her Mother's Hope in the spring not knowing it was a sequel and had to wait all these months for book 2 but it was worth it!! Don't get one without the other!!!

Her Daughters Dream,
This review is from: Her Daughters Dream (Paperback)
Her Mothers Hope and Her Daughters Dream by Francine Rivers was a series worth purchasing and reading! I'm happy to have it as part of my personal library. It was an interesting and realistic journey through several generations of women in the same family. They each had their own set of struggles through life. Each mother's struggle shaped her daughter's life after her. It gives us as mothers ourselves food for thought on how we treat our own daughters.

Sneaks up on ya!,
By
This review is from: Her Daughter's Dream (Paperback)
You read it and you think, wow Francine, this story doesn't grip as much as some of your previous series. . . then in the next week all I can think about is the long-lasting effects of parenting choices. Now I'm pretty sure that this has been the hardest hitting books of hers that I've ever read! Phenomenal pair of books.
