Description

Once by the side of road and Pulstara is outcast from her beloved Bavaria with a yellow steerage trunk. In 1912, she boards the Carpathia, The Ship of Widows. As an indentured servant, she knows her place; servitude and humility. Then Franz Mueller, the older man who lured her into the bushes, tells her that marriage is automatic in the United States and she believes him. She is a natural midwife, and he is a master craftsman, and life is good, until the dog days of summer of 1923 when Ben, the youngest child is stricken with Infantile Paralysis. Shortly afterwards, Franz suffers an incredible head injury when a tornado rips the countryside apart. Her world is turned upside down when she must produce citizenship and marriage documents to have Franz committed to an asylum. Then she finds the damning letters from his German wife and five children. Once again she is an outcast in a small Catholic community where illegitimacy is still a dirty word. In order to survive, she makes the dark German beer during Prohibition and above it all, she says, Tomorrow's a Better Day. Rose Sefton has mastered plotting and characterization that people are calling her a female John Steinbeck. She's written so many novels that she's lost track of the exact number, but be sure to watch for Bloodlines Abyss, a gripping sequel to A Better Day.
