<DIV><B><I>New York Times</I></B><B>&ndash;bestselling author Jacqueline Briskin&rsquo;s steamy romantic saga about two generations of a privileged California family that chases the American dream, from the post&ndash;World War II boom years to the turbulent, psychedelic 1960s</B><BR /><BR /> The year 1946 in America is a time for seizing opportunities&mdash;and the best way for a woman to get ahead is to marry well. Descended from the wealthy Van Vliets, owners of a successful supermarket chain, Em Wynan is the first of her sorority sisters to walk down the aisle with a handsome war veteran. Nine months later, she delivers fraternal twin sons. Em&rsquo;s younger sister, the fun-loving Caroline, is her polar opposite, championing liberal causes at UCLA and falling in love with a radical writer. For Caroline&rsquo;s best friend, Beverly Linde, finding the right husband is more complicated because as a Holocaust survivor, she will carry the stigma and horrors of World War II forever.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Set against the backdrop of a radically changing American landscape, the lives of these three women intersect through decades of friendship, rivalry, love, and inconsolable loss. As Em, Caroline, and Beverly&rsquo;s children come of age during the 1960s&mdash;a time of danger and drugs, the breakdown of society&rsquo;s sexual taboos, and inner peace found among bizarre cults&mdash;they discover that parents cannot always save their children from tragedy, even if they have powerful, rich friends.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Steeped in atmosphere and authentic historical detail, Jacqueline Briskin&rsquo;s novel of ambition, hope, and family still resonates today.<BR /></DIV>
