In the dramatic conclusion to Her Mother's Hope, the Cold
War has begun and Carolyn is struggling to navigate her
shifting family landscape and the changing times. With her
mother, Hildemara, away in a tuberculosis sanatorium,
Carolyn develops a special bond with her Oma Marta. But
when Hildie returns, tensions between she and Marta
escalate, and Carolyn feels she is to blame. College
offers the chance to find herself, but a family tragedy
shatters her independence. Rather than return home, she
cuts all ties and disappears into the heady culture of San
Francisco. When she reemerges two years later, more lost
than ever, only her family can help rebuild a life for her
and her 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 her mother and
grandmother rather than the wall that separates them
forever. Spanning the 1950s to the present day, Her
Daughter's Dream is the final chapter of an unforgettable
epic family saga about the sacrifices every mother makes
for her daughter-and the very nature of unconditional love.
