Her Mother's Hope and Her Daughter's Dream by Francine Rivers comprise a two-book series, called “Marta’s Legacy.”

If family dynamics interest you I highly recommend reading these books. They mostly focus on mother-daughter relationships spanning four generations.  

These books show how a misunderstanding can cause a huge rift in a family. They also show the importance of open communication. The women of these books have the struggles all mothers share. They do everything they can for their children out of love even if their children don't see it. 

After years of her mother and grandmother barely speaking to each other, May Flower Dawn finally brings them together so everyone can learn to get along before her baby comes. 

Her mother, Carolyn, continues the journey of fixing relationships by going to Switzerland. She visits places her Oma lived when she was a child. She finds exactly what her mother needs to prove her mother's love.
