Inhalt:

While the whole world is in the throes of one of the most concentrated periods of Sturm und Drang in recent memory, the Konevs and their friends far and wide struggle to survive and make their way back to some semblance of a peaceful, ordinary world. In Volume I, Midway Life's Journey, Lyuba and Ivan are snowed in at their barn on Russian Christmas Eve and have a passionate encounter which creates a surprise seventh baby. Lyuba is ecstatic to be pregnant again, despite her history of difficult pregnancies and deliveries, but her sense of serenity and joy is soon destroyed when she suffers a near-miscarriage. She's forced into complete bed rest and using a wheelchair in order to carry her riskiest pregnancy yet to term. Meanwhile, Nadezhda is finally released from Siberia after her 12-year sentence runs out, and makes her way to America with Vsevolod Smirnov, the older son of the family who rescued Lyolya all those years ago. America is a dream come true for both of them, but after they come to New York from San Francisco, they're each confronted by romantic quandaries. Nadezhda's emotional reunion with Pavel ends in heartbreak when she sees the phony wedding ring he bought, and Vsevolod falls in love with Nadezhda's spinster cousin Vera. Each couple needs some time to navigate the path from friends to lovers, all while hoping for a happy ever after. And in the middle of it all, Lyuba and Ivan's firstborn Tatyana has begun growing up and becoming a young woman. Their sweet little girl Tanyechka is now a modern American teenager who goes by Tanya. Though her increasingly apparent young womanhood disconcerts her parents, they know she can't stay their innocent little girl forever. Everything must come to an end eventually. And sometimes, one ending starts another beginning.
