Spanning the years of the Great Depres-

sion and World War II, this saga of a South-

ern Jewish family is the most spellbinding

novel yet by Harriet Segal, author of Catch

the Wind ("Segal weaves a suspenseful

and compelling story, rich in color and

incident."-Publishers Weekly) and

Susquehana ("Segal is a superb storyteller

who succeeds in holding her readers glued

to the page"-West Coast Review of Books).
