From the Dust Jacket: "THE ROAD TAKEN is the story of our century, as told through four generations of an unforgettable family. It is also the story of choices and chances and fate, which transform people's lives forever. Rose Smith is born in the very beginning of 1900, the year that ushered in the most rapidly changing century in history, with its remarkable advances in medicine, technology, politics and American society. At the age of ten, Rose loses her mother. Raised by her somewhat distant father, her older sister, and her new stepmother, Rose learns to become independent and adaptable. As she grows up and begins a family of her own, she and her three very distinct but equally strong-willed daughters, and their men, are a part of the country's growth too - an America inescapably altered by the onset of devastating wars, the advent of new medicines, and the emerging power and autonomy of women. The family's lives are composed of a mosaic of tragedy and joy, love and hate, rivalry, struggle, and redemption, a poignant re-creation of the human experience. THE ROAD TAKEN is a chronicle of a woman and a family and a century like no other, written by Rona Jaffe, whose novels have sold more than thirty-two million copies worldwide.".
