Ava & Claire
Coming Apart
A woman who's lost everything. Her sister, who has everything. And the baby who means everything - to both of them.
Ava has always been poor, so she doesn't think the Great Depression will change anything. But when her mother dies and her coal miner husband loses his job, Ava's certainty falters. The last thing she needs is a letter from her estranged sister, asking for the impossible.
Claire has everything she could ever want, except the child she promised her husband. When her sister's life falls apart, she reaches out to help - and finds the missing piece of her own marriage.
With everything at stake, Ava must choose: give up one child to save the rest or keep her family together and risk losing everything?
It’s hard to leave the past behind.
Recently widowed Ava has moved to Philadelphia, determined to start over. With her children and blossoming career as a dressmaker taking up all her time, she’s not ready for charming, persistent Max Byrne, even if he is a family friend and her daughter’s doctor. But he shows up at every turn, making it impossible for Ava to ignore him – and worse yet, she’s not sure she wants to.
Claire is torn between pride in her sister’s self-reliance and finding a way to pay back the debt she owes her. When an unexpected meeting in Washington DC gives Claire the chance to make change on an even larger scale, she jumps at the opportunity - abandoning her family duties in pursuit of good works.
The sisters find themselves on opposite sides: while Claire neglects her family for greater causes, Ava considers sacrificing everything for hers. As they confront their pasts and take on new challenges, will they be able to overcome their differences and remember that family always comes first?
Every marriage is different. And family is more than blood.
Ava and Claire have moved on from the traumatic events of 1934 - while Ava has decided at last to marry patient Max Byrne and allow love back into her life, Claire and her husband have gone to France to repair their relationship. Harry encounters an old friend in Paris and offers to assist two Jewish refugees trying to flee a continent on the verge of war.
Back in Philadelphia, Ava navigates the challenges of being a doctor’s wife while maintaining her independence. When Max becomes involved with recent refugees coming to his clinic, their lives intertwine with Harry Warriner's larger project.
In a time of tremendous upheaval, can the sisters find the strength to embrace the ever-changing relationships of marriage and family? Ava and Claire will discover that love and family can transcend blood and that true courage is not measured in action, but in the heart.
