Yes, this is family history! It is an immigrant story. It includes significant scholastic research. It situates the personal and family narrative within the broader political, economic, and social context of the 1920s and the subsequent decades. There are letters by the mother, the father, a son, and a daughter. There is a diary. There are love letters. An interview with the mother injects a personal and poignant memoir. The author's research and recollections convey a tone of affection. Idiosyncratic details add sparkle.
