College offers Carolyn the chance to find herself, but a family tragedy shatters her new found 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.
Many of us have favorite authors that no matter what their book is about we will pick it up. Francine Rivers is one of those authors for me. In this second book (and final) book of Marta's Legacy we find the mother/daughter relationship becoming a generational cycle for this family. You will be pulled in by this emotional story of loss, sorrow, pain, anger, love and forgiveness. You will need a few tissues on hand for the last 60 pages and hopefully be changed as you close the cover. Every grandmother, mother and daughter should read these books. While this is Christian fiction, it is gritty, honest and tells the story of hurting, messed up women.

I remember when someone first told me to read a book by Francine Rivers. It was REDEEMING LOVE (naturally) and I was really blown away. I haven't read this little mini-series of two books yet, but I have both of them on my Kindle. They shall be read soon. Glad you enjoyed them!
One of my favorite reads is Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I will have to get my hands on both of the books in this series. I like a good family saga!
A teacher friend loves this author too and I downloaded her free book on my Kindle a few weeks ago. She also gushed about this one so of course I must read!!!
I've heard this author's name before. Sounds like a touching read to be sure. Thanks for the tissue warning.
I adore Francine Rivers! I haven't had a chance to read these two yet but will!
This one sounds like it would appeal to a wider audience than just CF fans.
