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.

fantastic book

Her daughters Dream was a wonderful book. couldn't put it down. So enjoyed the history and life both I. Europe and in the America

God centered vs Self centered Life

Shows the generational repercussions of living a self centered rather than a God centered life.

❤️ So Good!

One of the best books I’ve “heard” in a long time, along with the first book in the set.

Great story!

What a remarkable story. The 2 books together are such a wonderful story. The story spans 2 centuries.

Loved it.

A book of misunderstandings between mothers and daughters. Wonderful story through the years with details from each generation. Heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Love this series

I love that these are Christian love novels and I have told all my friends about her books.

A touching story

Four generations of women and their legacies. A beautiful and encouraging story. I highly recommend.

Wonderful, Christian based story of four generations of women's love, faith and mistaken and unspoken feelings

Excellent life stories of Godly love and redemption.

This is the second of two novels, that speaks of love and the need for all of us to love one another.

I Corinthians 13

I was not impressed by the first book. Boy was I wrong. The ending of this series made me realize that whether boring or exciting, a story has to start somewhere. In other words, it's not how you start but how you finish.

Francine Rivers has done it again. Although not one of my favorite of her books, it still holds its own. This book made me think about the relationships I have and how things that I do (or don't do) can be interpreted differently. Also on how I interpret others actions or words. It made me think about how many people, from children to adults are hurting because of misunderstandings. Parents who try their best to raise their kids, yet still end up hurting them. The bottomline to everything is love, not how we think love is or should be, but how Jesus loves.

Faith, Hope, Love of these three the greatest is LOVE.
I Corinthians 13

Absolutely captivating!

What a beautiful story of love, tragedy, generational dysfunction, and healing. I laughed, raged, became frustrated and cried along with the characters. My only complaint is that it ended so very abruptly, leaving Hildamara's reaction to the letters exchanged between her Mother Marta & Rose up to the reader to imagine. I'm sure it was just as healing as the time Faith was born. I highly recommend this series. Such a wonderful story of faith and perseverance.
