When they return home, Emma develops a deep interest in travel and sets her sights on an artistic life in San Francisco, while Joan turns to movies and thoughts of romance to escape the pressures of her real life. As the girls become women, each follows a path different from what her family expects. But through periods of great happiness and sorrow, the sisters learn that their complicated ties to each other--and to the other members of their close-knit family-are a source of strength as they pursue their separate dreams. 1019524 1 7 1998 Night of Many Dreams: A Novel total:414|5:72|4:183|3:126|2:29|1:4| 414 1532 599 42 3 0 false false Thu Jan 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 24 13:17:22 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 08 11:54:54 -0800 2009
