Description

All good things must come to an end, and this four-book bundle closes Mazo de la Roche's beloved Jalna series with stories of return, rebirth, and hope for a new day. As the dark clouds of World War II begin to clear, the scattered Whiteoak clan returns to its roots, and draws strength from renewed family ties, even if inner peace remains elusive. But life continues at its own pace, with all the departures and unexpected arrivals that entails. As the venerable family manor approaches its show more centenary and the Whiteoaks try to stage a grand reunion, hopes and tensions run high as de la Roche bring show less
