  • "At the Turn of the Century, a time when women had few choices, Bess Steed Garner inherits a legacy - not only of wealth, but of determination and desire, making her truly a woman of independent means. From the early 1900s through the 1960s, we accompany Bess as she endures life's trials and triumphs with unfailing courage and indomitable spirit: the sacrifices love sometimes requires of the heart; the flaws and rewards of marriage; the often-tested bond between mother and child; and the will to defy a society that demands conformity."
