Their nationalist backgrounds include British, German, Welsh, American, Russian and German; and their socioeconomic backgrounds are equally manifold. The aristocratic Lady Maud Fitzherbert finds herself drawn hopelessly toward the romantic affections of a German. An American law student discovers a promising profession in Woodrow Wilson's white house. Two widely different paths of transmigration from Russia to America proves to be difficult for orphaned Russian brothers. A young Welsh boy faces the immense challenges of the coal mining profession. From war to revolution to reform, the stories of these families personalize the history of this era unforgettably.
