Synopsis

“I lost track of the number of times tears filled my eyes, both tears of heartache and joy. This novel has made the list of one of my all-time favorite books!”—Tricia Goyer, bestselling author of more than 30 books "A wonderfully-woven story of hope, resilience, and tenderness. Beautiful from page one to the last. The ending is nothing short of perfect."--Susan Meissner, author of The Girl in the Glass 1890s Morning glories climb the wall of the home where Anna nurtures unwed mothers and their babes. 1951 Ivy works at a nursing home caring for an aging Anna, whose wild tales are not just idle ramblings but memories of a remarkable life that must be shared. 2013 Becky rocks a grandbaby who has rocked her world, unaware of the significance of the house across the street—the one covered in morning glories. Three eras. Three women desperate for hope. Three reasons to believe it won’t come in time. Can Ivy preserve Anna’s emotion-packed, grace-hemmed memories? Will Becky’s prayers for the child of her unwed daughter be answered? And what of this baby—who brings together the intertwining stories of women across generations? As each fights a tangled vine of deception, each uncovers possibilities for hope—and the blossoming simplicity of truth.
