By the Rivers of Brooklyn (Signed) - Morgan-Cole, Trudy J.

SIGNED BY TRUDY J. MORGAN-COLE on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; light crease to upper front edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In the 1920s, Jim, Bert and rose Evans all move from Newfoundland to Brooklyn in search of work and better life, leaving their sister Annie back home in St. John's. When tragedy strikes, Bert's fiancee Ethel is forced to make a desperate choice, the results of which resonate through the Evans family across three countries and three generations. This book explores the hopes, passions and heartbreaks of those who west away and those who stayed behind. It transforms into fiction the experience of the 75,000 first and second generation Newfoundlanders who once lived in Brooklyn, NY - and the universal experience of migration, of people throughout history who have gone away to find work and prosperity but never stopped dreaming of home.
