Anna came to the United States as a poor young immigrant girl because she wanted to escape being married off to someone whom she did not love, and to escape the poverty all around her. Evergreen is her story and the story of the family she built with Joseph Friedman. It is the first book in the Werner family saga.
This book is rich in historical detail and description. The characters, though fictional, come alive in word and deed in a way few writers bring to the page. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, "The Golden Cup."
