ISBN 067944727X

This is a first-person narrative from the point of view of a country boy with roots as he views the changes in his immigrant neighbors. The girls who grew strong and went on to work for the gentile class and then struck out on their own -- the girls who got rich and the girls who had families. This is a classic story of the struggles it takes new immigrants to reach independence in a new land.
