Publisher Description

In this triumphant conclusion to the Lavette saga, Howard Fast brings the story up to the present, to the fourth generation. As Dan Lavette dominated The Immigrants, so his eldest child, Barbara, is the focus of this wide-ranging and passionate novel.

After a life filled with danger, love and death, Barbara, now in her sixties, is living a simple life in San Francisco. And then, almost on a whim, she runs for Congress and sets in motion a series of adventures that brings her back to the excitement of the times, to a renewal of romantic love, to mortal danger as a reporter in Central America, to loss and tragedy, and in the end, to an exultant embracing of life.

"Couldn't put this series down once I started reading it. I was given the first three books in this series as a gift and was hooked as soon as I started reading them. I could not wait for the 4th book of this series to be published!"

    " This was the 5th book in the Lavette series. I found it was a little too political and hanging on all the events of the last four books. Barbara Lavette runs for Congress, still looking for love, and still fighting for her causes. This was my least favorite books of this series. "

    " The first few books in this series were good, then they just got depressing and preachy about war. "

    " I had read the first book of this serise and didn't realize it unitl I was about 75 pages into the story. I didn't like the chachareters as well and didn't find a lot of history to walk away with. Lots of sentiment. "
