Opis

At the turn of the 20th Century, immigrants coming to America, though not related, often made strong family bonds, as if related by blood. Stevo Markovich left the immigrant community in Gary, Indiana and returned to New Orleans where he made friends with several people who helped him become a successful hotel owner. New Orleans is a colorful and exciting place. Creole women, European fisherman and generations of French families all add to the spice of the city. The bubonic plague comes to New Orleans and makes changes in many people's lives. Stevo moves his niece and her caregiver to another Parish for their safety. News of the war in Europe has some immigrants wanting to return to the Old Country to fight. Stevo's good friend, Joseph, is interested in returning until he hears a lecture by some German men wanting financial aid for the war. Amidst these events, Stevo misses the life he left behind in Gary, Indiana. He hatches a plan to bring his friends to New Orleans. Will they join him?
