Synopsis: "Shreve is a master storyteller... [An] intricate portrait of the American woman and her creative centrality inside and outside the home." THE MIAMI HERALD They are four generations of women-- Anna, Amanda, Sara, and Eleanor-- and their remarkable story spans a hundred years, beginning when a willful beauty arrives in America in 1890, and goes on to love, passion, and scandal. She brings into the world a talented daughter whose photographs capture the soul of the twentieth century, and in turn she has a daughter, who in then has a daughter of her own-- all of whom refuse to bow to the conventions of their times. Like their mothers before them, they will charter vast new territory as daughters of the new world.
