Book Summary
Jewish immigrants came to America, some by choice and others by chance. The romance and marriage of one such family deals with efforts to earn a living in times of high expectations and low rewards, told through 451 actual letters, written from 1915, and continuing through the Depression Years to 1941. Here, is the journey of a family on the road to the American dream. Louis and Celia, who live in different states, meet through mutual friends. Their romance starts reservedly, slowly progressing to love, and the tale is tender and often humorous. Their planned marriage hinges on Louis' ability to support a wife and family. In order to do this, he and his accounting partner, Dave, enter into partnership, to be the agents for one of the first detergent makers in the United States. This volatile business deal soon unravels. Due to chicanery on the part of the parent company, it looks like Dave's family and Louis' marriage are destined to suffer. This is not just the story of families in conflict. It is the story of thousands who lived during this period of time.
