Translation of: Her daughter's dream.
Description
Crecer no es fácil para la pequeña Carolyn Arundel. Hildemara, su madre, está recluida con tuberculosis y Carolyn desarrolla una relación especial con su abuela Marta, quien se ha mudado con ellos para ayudar con las tareas del hogar. Sin embargo, las tensiones entre Hildie y Marta aumentan y Carolyn cree que ella es la responsable. Cuando Hildie regresa al trabajo y Marta se va, Carolyn y su hermano crecen por su cuenta en un mundo amenazado por la Guerra Fría. La universidad le da a Carolyn la oportunidad de encontrarse a sí misma, pero una tragedia familiar destruye su recientemente descubierta independencia. En lugar de regresar al hogar, ella corta toda comunicación y desaparece en la excitante contracultura de San Francisco. Cuando reaparece dos años después, más perdida que nunca, a regañadientes vuelve a su familia tratando de reconstruir una vida para sí misma y para su propia hija, May Flower Dawn. Al igual que Carolyn, May Flower Dawn desarrolla una mejor relación con su abuela, Hildie, que con su propia madre, ocasionando otra separación más entre generaciones. No obstante, Dawn trata de evitar los errores cometidos y promete que tratará de ser un puente entre las mujeres de su familia en lugar de una pared que las separe para siempre.
Description
Growing up isn't easy for little Carolyn Arundel. With her mother, Hildemara, quarantined to her room with tuberculosis, Carolyn forms a special bond with her grandmother Marta, who moves in to care for the household. But as tensions between Hildie and Marta escalate, Carolyn believes she is to blame. When Hildie returns to work and Marta leaves, Carolyn and her brother grow up as latchkey kids in a world gripped by the fear of the Cold War. College offers Carolyn the chance to find herself, but a family tragedy shatters her newfound independence. Rather than return home, she cuts all ties and disappears into the heady counterculture of San Francisco. When she reemerges two years later, more lost than ever, she reluctantly turns to her family to help rebuild a life for her and her own daughter, May Flower Dawn. Just like Carolyn, May Flower Dawn develops a closer bond with her grandmother, Hildie, than with her mother, causing yet another rift between generations. But as Dawn struggles to avoid the mistakes of those who went before her, she vows that somehow she will be a bridge between the women in her family rather than the wall that separates them forever.
