In Legacy of Silence, New York Times bestselling author Belva Plain creates an unforgettable story of a remarkable family-and a deception that reaches across continents, oceans, and generations.
Caroline Hartzinger flees wartime Europe with a shattered life and a devastating secret. Pregnant and unwed, she arrives in America in 1939. Joel Hirsch offers marriage and respectability, hoping one day to earn her love, if not the passion she feels for a man whose memory still haunts them both. With Joel, Caroline builds a new life, determined to bury the past-until her daughter Eve brings Caroline's carefully crafted world crashing down again, driven by a rage to learn the truth.
Now it is Eve's secret, a legacy that taints her life and puts generations at risk. But with it comes a gift-a new sister, young enough to be her own daughter, who offers hope, then a truth that will finally break the hold of the past.
Before becoming a novelist, Belva Plain wrote short stories for many major magazines, but taking care of a husband and three children did not give her the time to concentrate on the novel she had always wanted to write. When she looked back and said she didn't have the time, she felt as though she had been making excuses. In retrospect, she said, "I didn't make the time." But, she reminded us, during the era that she was raising her family, women were supposed to concentrate only on their children. Today 30 million copies of her books are in print.
A Barnard College graduate who majored in history, Belva Plain enjoyed a wonderful marriage of more than 40 years to Irving Plain, an ophthalmologist. Widowed for more than 25 years, Ms. Plain continued to reside in New Jersey, where she and her husband had raised their family and which was still home to her nearby children and grandchildren until her death in October 2010.
