Publisher's summary

In the dramatic conclusion to the New York Times best seller Her Mother’s Hope, Francine Rivers delivers a rich and deeply moving story about the silent sorrows that can tear a family apart and the grace and forgiveness that can heal even the deepest wounds.

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.

Generationally Insightful

loved this story and the one before it. loved to see the generations come together at the end.

Genuine

I am touched by the fact that God can break the. Odds of generations of sins and mistakes and make a family heal and be new

The story

I loved how all the characters were able to understand how each one struggled differently through their lives but in the end they all realized it was because of how much they were loved

Interesting and thought provoking

The two books in this series are great and thanks to Audible I was able to enjoy them in this crazy busy life we live! Listen if u get the chance. You won't regret it. Francine Rivers is an amazing author.

The Dreams Continue

The ending of Her Mother's Hope left me with an urgent need to keep going with these characters. The segue was flawless. A few times I was uncomfortable remembering how I must have disappointed my own mother or failed my own daughter, but that simply tells you how powerful the writing is and how true to life. Try not to worry too much, because . . . well, I don't want to give anything away. Just believe me when I say you will not be disappointed. I can't say enough good things about the narrator, Stina Nielsen. She is consummately talented.
I just cannot recommend this audio book and its predecessor highly enough!

Awesome, honest, and ground breaking

Great read

Wonderful story. Could not wait to hear it every evening. Finished in 3 days. Loved it.

A legacy spanning five generations

I loved the books but the story felt a bit slow drug out. I wanted to see the characters resolve their issues but had to wait until the very end. It made sense in the end but the it felt very drawn out in the middle.
