  <default_description>A sprawling saga about five generations of a family from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, &lt;i&gt;Fall on Your Knees&lt;/i&gt; is the impressive first fiction from Canadian playwright and actor Ann-Marie MacDonald. This epic tale of family history, family secrets, and music centers on four sisters and their relationships with each other and with their father.  Set in the coal-mining communities of Nova Scotia in the early part of this century, the story also shifts to the battlefields of World War I and the jazz scene of New York City in the 1920s.</default_description>
