內容簡介

內容簡介 With sly wit and keen observation, Marti Macke breathes life into quirky members of a Central European family as they assimilate into their new home and immigrant community during WWII. While waiting for word from sons and brothers in the war, Papa struggles to help produce enough steel at the mill for the ravenous war effort while Helen sews parachutes from silk once intended for ladies' stockings. Newlywed MaryAnn crosses the country to bid farewell to her husband before he heads overseas. Mama seeks to guide headstrong Elizabeth while filling her family with "Victory Sausages" and homemade breads. Intrigues, humor, strife, and nostalgia are woven through these vibrant, interconnected stories set in Gary, Indiana. Marti's characters combat prejudice and fear in uncertain times while also creating a captivating celebration of love, hope, belief in good, and survival in a booming steel city during a devastating war.
