The first in an epic two-book saga by beloved author
Francine Rivers, this sweeping story explores the
complicated relationships between mothers and daughters over
several generations.

Near the turn of the 20th century, fiery Marta leaves
Switzerland determined to find life on her own terms. Her
journey takes her through Europe and finally lands her with
children and husband in tow in the central valley of
California. Marta’s experiences convince her that only the
strong survive.

Hildie, Marta’s oldest daughter, has a heart to serve
others, and her calling as a nurse gives her independence,
if not the respect of her mother. Amid the drama of WWII,
Hildie marries and begins a family of her own. She wants her
daughter never to doubt her love—but the challenges of life
conspire against her vow.

Each woman is forced to confront her faulty but well-meaning
desire to help her daughter find her God-given place in the
world.
