    About this series

    In the dramatic conclusion to the Marta’s Legacy series, Marta’s granddaughter, Carolyn, comes of age during the
    turbulent 1960s, struggling to navigate a tense family life. Though collge offers a taste of freedom, tragedy shatters
    Carolyn’s confidence and she disappears into the heady counterculture of San Francisco. When she reemerges, more
    lost than ever, she reluctantly turns to her family to help her rebuild a life for herself and her own daughter, May
    Flower Dawn.

    Familiar tensions emerge when Dawn develops a closer bond with her grandmother than her own mother. As she
    seeks to avoid the mistakes of those who went before her, Dawn vows to become a bridge between the women in her
    family rather than the wall that separates them forever.

    Her Daughter’s Dream is the emotional final chapter of an unforgettable saga about the silent sorrows that can tear
    a family apart, the sacrifices mothers make for their daughters, and the very nature of unconditional love.

      Near the turn of the twentieth century, fiery Marta Schneider leaves Switzerland for a better life, determined to fulfill her mother’s hope. Her formative journey takes her through Europe and eventually to Canada, where she meets handsome Niclas Waltert. But nothing has prepared her for the sacrifices she must make for marriage and motherhood as she travels to the Canadian wilderness and then to the dusty Central Valley of California to raise her family. Marta’s hope is to give her children a better life, but experience has taught her that only the strong survive. Her tough love is often misunderstood, especially by her oldest daughter, Hildemara Rose, who craves her mother’s acceptance. Amid the drama of World War II, Hildie falls in love and begins a family of her own. But unexpected and tragic events force mother and daughter to face their own shortcomings and the ever-widening chasm that threatens to separate them forever. Spanning from the early 1900s to the 1950s, Her Mother’s Hope is the first part of a gripping and lyrical saga about family and faith, dreams and disappointments, and the depths of grace and forgiveness in one of life’s fiercest bonds—the love between mother and daughter.
