Opis

How many times must sisters forgive each other? The war is over and the McNeil sisters are struggling after years of hardship, heartbreak and loss of loved ones. Devasted by loss and betrayal, widowed Mary takes control of her husband's farm and strives to become a prosperous lady farmer. Doris' immoral actions lead to a family estrangement and young Kate is left with their aging mother trying to survive on the old family farm. The passing years bring more wars and more sorrow for the next generation of McNeil women. Young Kate falls in love just as the Korean War begins and must say goodbye to the only man who has ever noticed her. Faye marries for convenience and now longs for the excitement and romance she believes she has missed. Helen lives in fear of her abusive husband and the poverty he has forced upon her. Elinor loses her lover to the Vietnam war and marries a man she barely knows. Old betrayals, heartbreak and grudges leave the women estranged until one of their own is brutally murdered.
