Carol Stream, Illinois –Tyndale House Publishers has announced a September 14, 2010, “street date” release for Her Daughter’s Dream by Francine Rivers, sequel to her New York Times bestseller, Her Mother’s Hope. Tyndale is launching Her Daughter’s Dream, the second of two historical novels in the Marta’s Legacy series, with a national marketing and promotional campaign.
A saga inspired by strong women from the author’s own family ancestry, Her Daughter’s Dream spans the 1950s to the present and concludes Marta’s Legacy, an inspiring series that begins with Her Mother’s Hope and takes readers on a journey that covers two continents and four generations of women.
More than 150,000 copies of Her Mother’s Hope are now in print. In March, the novel debuted on the New York Times hardcover fiction bestsellers list and the Publishers Weekly hardcover fiction bestsellers list. The book has received critical acclaim from reviewers and enthusiastic comments from readers.
“We are grateful for the response to Her Mother’s Hope, the author’s first full-length novel since 2003,” said Karen Watson, Associate Publisher. “I know that customers and readers are eager for the sequel, Her Daughter’s Dream. We look forward to bringing them what is sure to be a memorable conclusion to this series.”
