by Pansy (Isabella Macdonald Alden)

Ruth Erskine, now in her fifties, navigates the complexities of motherhood as her son, grown from the young boy featured in a previous book, brings home an American wife from Paris. Irene, the new bride, seems determined to create distance between mother and son, harboring her own concealed secrets. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Chautauqua community, exploring themes of family dynamics, cultural differences, and the enduring power of love and forgiveness.
