With the arrival of their ne'er-do-well cousin Carlo from Sicily, the Donatellos are thrust into the roles of hosts and caretakers. Unfortunately, Angelu's loneliness and gentle disposition make him an ideal target for exploitation, from both family and strangers.
A rival bootlegger targets Peter and the company, and inadvertently endangers Sarah. Knowing where his duty lies, Peter resolves to give it all up for her. John, however, demands his brother's loyalty, calling Peter's desire to leave the family business betrayal. Peter must navigate his conflicted feelings for John, even as Angelu navigates heartbreak and despair. Dealing with Carlo, however, may prove an even bigger challenge for all of them.
Reminiscent of John Jakes' Bicentennial series, The New Americans by Tony and Ty Drago is a wonderfully moving saga. The genesis of the story is itself a tale: in his final weeks, Tony Drago tape-recorded what his son Ty thought were simple reminiscences. It was only in the years following Tony's death, after Ty became an established novelist, that he listened to the tapes and realized his father had left him, not a family history, but rather an emotional novel of immigration, rebirth, and growth. Milherst Publishing is honored to bring this story to the world.
