Wheel of Fortune

They were the Dream Seekers—the Silverthorns and the Bendelbinders—two Jewish families who arrived in America only to discover that the golden land of opportunity was not so golden during the years between the two world wars. Despite their solid beginnings, the struggle seemed never ending as the Great Depression took its toll, casting dark shadows at a time when the future of the Jews was once again threatened.

Never before has there been so poignant a story of the trials, the tragedies, the travails, and the triumphs of courageous human beings who, through enduring perseverance, conquered poverty, persecution, and prejudice, rising above it all to become masters of their own destiny, determined that the dream they sought would not be in vain.
