From the Back Cover:

Paul Werner watched the proud, daring immigrant Anna marry another man. But his desire for her haunts him...even after he weds the elegant Mimi, a woman of his own class. Now, as Paul wrestles with the dark demons of forbidden passion, his family and business are plunged into a maelstrom of tragedy and social changes. Ahead lie the dark days of the Depression, the rise of pure evil in Europe, and a war that will change the world forever. But for Paul Werner a more personal struggle awaits -- a choice of a lifetime and a new beginning, or the most painful of final good-byes. Belva Plain's Tapestry takes up the threads of lives encountered in her beloved epic, Evergreen, to create an entirely new drama of a family's loyalties and divisions, its secrets, and its destiny....
