This book written by Cynthia Freeman tells us about the American Dream as it was envisaged by the people of the that time.
Jacob- Whose new found wealth could never fill the aching void inside him.
Sara- Who sacrificed everything in the name of love, even her daughter.
Shlomo- Who kept the family's disgrace a secret, and paid the price.
Rachel- Whose forbidden love for one man drove her into the arms of another.
Doris- A Cinderella who achieved fame beyond her wildest dreams and immense happiness.
Proud, passionate, and yearning for life, they came from the Lower East Side to the glittering heights of San Francisco. A family in search of the American Dream, they battled to survive in a bawling new world without losing touch with their spiritual heritage. Four generations of tears and joy- the tempestuous, rags-to-riches novel of an immigrant family who made the American Dream come true.
