She endures any hardship to ensure her daughters' lives are happy and secure. Anna experiences rape, murder, fear, love, and joy in her new world and rises above all obstacles - even herself - to achieve her dreams. Will the return of an old friend from her World War II days change her life? How Anna, and her daughters, Teresa, Giuseppa, Vincenza, Francesca, Innocenza, and Maria, thrive, flourish, and succeed beyond Anna's wildest ambitions is the core of this sweeping family drama.
