From the author of Pacific Cavalcade comes the saga of a new generation of Lombards--a uniquely American family, born into San Francisco's landed aristocracy but soon irrevocably caught up in the troubled waters of war-torn Europe and the Pacific. From Pearl Harbor through the McCarthy era, the seemingly indomitable Lombards not only survive but prevail. There's Tony Lombard, heir to the Lombard fortune and to the fierce competition between father and son that is also the family legacy; his actress wife Eden, torn between family and career; Randi and Steve, who together head the Lombard dynasty; and Carl Friedrich, a young French Resistance fighter who is inescapably a part of their secret past--and whose fondest wish is to see them destroyed.
