The Dream Seekers

The Inspiring Saga of Two Jewish Families in Search of the American Dream

From the glitter of a nouveau-riche society to the disgrace of the sweatshops, from the devastation of World War I to the blood-spilling of Prohibition, this is the courageous and unforgettable story of two undefeatable Jewish families who dreamed the American dream...and made it come true.

Settling in Boston and New York, clawing their way out of the poverty and oppression that followed them across an ocean, the Silverthorns and the Bindelbinders rose to positions of power and influence. Lustily living and loving, they forged vast industrial empires...determined to bring reality to the old myth that in America the streets are paved with gold.

As he covers the colorful period from the end of the 1880s to the Roaring Twenties, Stephen Longstreet once again displays his artistry.
