      About This Book

      Barbara Layette—beautiful daughter of rugged Dan Layette and his aristocratic first wife. Rejecting the conflicts of her dual heritage, determined to build a life of her own, she fled an opulent Nob Hill mansion for a turbulent Europe on the brink of war. She would find danger, unforgettable romance, and shattering tragedy before she could come to a deeper understanding of her own world and discover an extraordinary, enduring love.

      Barbara stands at the center of the continuing story of the Layettes — a magnificent family swept on the tides of history that carry them from the depths of the Depression, through the darkest hours of World War II, to the exultant certainty of victory, the exuberant optimism of peace.
