reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


Desperate workes strike on railways and at coal mines as a nation shudders with the passions of men and women who demand a share of the American dream. Violence and tears touch every heart when the cities of AMerican rock with the shouts of police and rioters, strikers, and scabs. Where is honor in the strife torn land? Where one blod family dares to raise its voice for freedom, fairness, and justice for all:THE HOLTS
1893 Clouds with Silver Linings and brighy futures may vanish in a family's ordeal and a nations shame- unless the indomitable spirit of the Holt Family can uphold a nations promise. Starry eyed ambitious. Tim Holt, son of Oregon Senator Toby Holt, has brought a failing San Francisco newspaper when he accepts the challenge covering one last Illinois story: the great Pullman stike. Now terror and treachery may cost Tim his newspaper and his life... and keep his father blind to the enemy who has charmed his way into the heart of Eulalia Hold, matriach of the clan. And Peter Blake's daring may lead to ruin when his mother's forune suddenly depends on a wild high stakes automobile race...
