Emma Bauer has kept a carefully guarded secret for years, but when she sees her granddaughter Suzanne's marriage crumbling, she realizes that lies about her own marriage may have poisoned those she loves the most. She must decide between helping her granddaughter break free from a legacy of bad choices, or take her secret, which would spare her daughter Grace (Suzanne's mother) further pain, to the grave. What Emma doesn't know is that Grace and Suzanne have embarked on their own journey to learn more about the past, especially a mystery surrounding Grace's father. Most of the story is told in a series of flashbacks about each woman and the choices they made, starting with Emma's mother, who came to America from Germany. Each woman's choices in life is shaped by the choices made by their mothers. Although I found the prologue to this story a bit cheesy, I really enjoyed this book. The rest of the book was very well written and heartfelt. I really liked hearing each woman's story from their point of view. The author also did a great job of incorporating the historical events of each time period into the story. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
What Would You Do If a Secret Was Causing Your Family to Crumble? Is there a secret terrible enough that it should never be revealed, not even if it was tearing a family apart? For more than five decades Emma Bauer has kept one--carefully guarding it with all her strength, and for more than five decades that choice has haunted her life and also the lives of her daughters and granddaughter. Is it too late for wrongs to be righted? Does Emma even have the strength to let the healing power of truth work in her family? The story of four generations of women and the powerful effects that their choices have had on their lives is at the heart of Eve's Daughters, an epic novel from author Lynn Austin. Grand in scope but tender and personal at the same time, it will please you as a fan of contemporary or historical fiction. Exploring times from World War I to the 980s, Eve's Daughters is an insightful look at mothers, daughters, sisters, and families that allows you to see a little bit of yourself through the characters' triumphs, struggles, and hard-tested faith. Yearning for love, dignity, and freedom, the four generations of women must come to terms with the choices they have made. Healing comes when the past is forgiven but only when they embrace God's forgiveness can they shatter the cycle that has ruled their lives over the decades. Link to Readers' Discussion Questions.
