The Paradise of Glass

Johanna, the oldest of the three Steinmann sisters, has successfully
managed the family glassblowing business since her father's death, and
her sister Marie's artistic gifts have made their wares unexpectedly
famous. But now the livelihood of the town of Lauscha, Germany - known
around the world as the "paradise of glass" - is in danger. The local
glassworks is about to be sold, and rumor has it the buyer wants to make
changes that will challenge glassblowing tradition.
Wanda, the
daughter of the middle Steinmann sister, is freshly arrived from America
and engaged to an ambitious local glassblower. Yet as soon as the bold
young woman learns of the impending sale, she decides to do as her
mother and aunts did - cast aside her expected role in order to save the
day. With the help of a handsome bank clerk, she will take a daring
risk with the villagers' hard-earned money. Just like glass, though,
love and commerce are fragile, and what begins as their last hope may
just end in shattered dreams.
