This series truly changed the way I looked at Mother/Daughter relationships including my own. I got so angry, I cried. I got so inspired, I cried again. Loved it
Loved, but was many times disturbed by what I read in these stories. At times it felt way too close to my own story. It made me realize that mother/daughter relationships are complicated in every home. Learning to speak truth and be open is something we appreciate in our generation but it was not always appreciated in the past. Remembering that our mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers were once little girls, had lives, hurts, hopes, etc. helps bring them down from the pedestal of motherhood...more
I loved this series. My friend form work lent me these books and I could not put them down. Her Mother's Dream I read in about a day and a half. It is about a life of 4 women who were daughter and mothers of one another. It is very uplifting and it showed how God's grace and love prevailed through this book. It was uplifting and sad. No matter the struggles that each women went through the Lord was in the situation. He taught them how to love and discovered just how much they were loved even tho...more
I really enjoyed reading this series by Francine Rivers. I was surprised by some of the situations that they had to deal with. The author keeps the characters real to life. I didn't give these books five stars because I don't believe they are the best books from this author. If you haven't discovered her, I would like to suggest that you pick up a couple of her older books in addition to her newer releases. Redeeming Love is my favorite, but the Mark of the Lion triology is also excellent.
These novels follow a generation of four women, each of whom has difficulties relating to their mothers. Told from multiple perspectives, the books span over a century of history as the great-grandmother moves from Switzerland to England to Canada and then America. While this wasn't my all-time favorite book, it was the first book in quite some time that I was anxious to read and struggled to put down.
Delving deep into why people do what they do and being a 'fly on the wall' of the human experience was enlightening. The cause and effect of love from a broken person can result in more scars than healing if we don't manage our relationships. Warning, you'll most likely cry and walk away looking at your mom in a new way; a more grace-filled way.
This is a set of books that chronicle the lives of one woman, her successive generations, and their interpersonal relationships. It really provokes thought as to how words and actions are so easily misunderstood. This was a great story, however I doubt that lack of communication could stretch over four generations of women.
I could not put these books down. At times, the four generational story seemed a little overwhelming and I had to keep checking to make sure I knew which character was which. It was captivating and the ending pulled all 4 generations together very well. A great story with a great message on many different levels.
I really enjoyed these books. They pieced together mother/daughter relationships, showing how the choices we make in our mothering come from how we might have been raised, and how that affects the next generations. I found it very insightful.
Read both books in immediate succession. A story of three women, grandmother, mother and daughter and the challenges they face in life, relationships and in following their faith. It's a beautiful story of loss and redemption, of misunderstanding, forgiveness and love.
I so loved this book. It took a while to read because it's so long, but it just flew by. I was engaged with the characters and could see so many view points.
Great stories about mother daughter relationships over 4 generations starting with a brave young woman immigrating to Canada and then the US
I read both books in this series and have to admit that the first was easy to get through, but the 2nd was a struggle because of personal things that have happened in my own personal life. The books are about 4 women: Marta, Hildemara, Carolyn and May Flower Dawn. It is a story of how one can pass on baggage from one generation to the next with out really realizing it and what it takes to break the cycle. This is a book about grace, forgiveness and love. Well, worth the read.
This series made me mad, sad, and feel tons of other emotions while reading it.a well-written and heartfelt collection of books!
Continuing family saga of mother/daughter relationships, the men in their lives. Excellent, well worth the read!
Absolutely loved both of these books from start to finish! They are Francine Rivers very best!
Second one was good too. You liked a certain character more in the second novel.
Even though I read them out of order, exceptional reads. I couldn't put them down.
My favourite book besides Redeeming love
Not my favorite from Ms. Rivers.
definitely will read these again!
