Publisher's Synopsis
Annie and her brothers have been surrounded by wealth and prestige their entire lives. But, as their mother says, "They don't know how to dream." When she dies, their father seizes upon an opportunity to uproot the family and move them to a place that is unlike anything they ever imagined. This family saga is written against the backdrop of the political and global turmoil of the last three years of the Vietnam War, 1970 - 1973. The Winston's learn the meaning of decency, perseverance, and loyalty, while arriving a greater understanding of self worth and the value of work. As Annie states, "We each planted a piece of ourselves in this place, and the roots have grown much deeper than any of us expected."
