Description
In San Francisco, in the post-1906-earthquake era, young Ann White-a daughter of Irish immigrants-does what it takes to survive...Amid a backdrop of poverty, politics, and Prohibition, her father turns to bootlegging, and Ann becomes his unlikely accomplice, transporting whiskey through the streets of San Francisco in a doll-covered wagon alongside her spirited, fun-loving sister Bette.As the decades unfold-from the Spanish Flu and Prohibition to the Great Depression and World War II-Ann endures hardship after hardship. She makes her way through the gritty underbelly of a city in flux, complete with brushes with violence and a family strained by addiction, ambition, and misfortune. Will Ann manage to overcome the difficulties and live a life worth living? Written by Joseph Andrew Cerny, a San Francisco native and retired family physician, the book draws on stories passed down by his grandmother Ann White-the real-life inspiration for this historical fiction novel. A descendant of multiple bootleggers, Cerny combines deep historical research with personal family history for this novel.
