In Boston's North End, four immigrant women leave childhood
behind-but never one another. For four young immigrant women living
in Boston's North End in the early 1900s, escaping tradition
doesn't come easy. But at least they have one another and the
Saturday Evening Girls Club, a social pottery-making group offering
respite from their hectic home lives-and hope for a better future.
Ambitious Caprice dreams of opening her own hat shop, which clashes
with the expectations of her Sicilian-born parents. Brilliant Ada
secretly takes college classes despite the disapproval of her
Russian Jewish father. Stunning Maria could marry anyone yet guards
her heart to avoid the fate of her Italian Catholic mother, broken
down by an alcoholic husband. And shy Thea is torn between
asserting herself and embracing an antiquated Jewish tradition. The
friends face family clashes and romantic entanglements, career
struggles and cultural prejudice. But through their unfailing bond,
forged through their weekly gathering, they'll draw strength-and
the courage to transform their immigrant stories into the American
lives of their dreams.
