Petal In The Wind IV: Lala Smetana

As the Great War rages, Lala dreams of peace someday, and the chance to have it all-marriage, motherhood, and a career. She reunites with Josef Smetana, the man she loves, and they marry. Amidst a world-wide pandemic and political discord rippling through Europe in the aftermath of war, Lala and Josef encounter undercurrents of mistrust and bigotry that sprout like noxious weeds. Lala notes a disquieting change of attitude in Josef as well; he no longer supports her desire to work. The Smetanas move to Prague and start a family. When an opportunity arises for Lala's final dream to come true, she plots to keep her secret from Josef, until she learns he's kept a far more dangerous secret from her. With her family's fate hinging on her success, together she and Josef must navigate a new resurgence of an old hate that threatens to shatter their lives.
