description: The women of Ivy Manor--four generations of women who forged a dynasty amid the tapestry of the twentieth century...
  
  Linda Leigh Sinclair is born in the aftermath of WWII. Raised near Ivy Manor, enveloped in the love of her family, Leigh has everything she could possibly need--yet not everything she wants. Her overwhelming need for freedom for herself and others leads her into the modern civil rights movement.
  
  At eighteen, Leigh watches the powers that be collide with the radical causes of the 1960s. Choosing the dangerous path of a journalist, she witnesses and writes about the protests and riots against segregation and the war in Vietnam. Then, while caught up in the winds of change, she falls in love. But her joy soon turns to pain...
  
  To survive, Leigh must mature quickly and call on God's forgiveness and power. Will she become the strong and capable woman her family--and the world--needs?
