A sixteen year old Jewish boy from Romania leaves his homeland and travels to America, only dreaming of the possibilities that await him. Thirty Bucks and a Dream is based on the true story of his family who immigrate through Ellis Island in the early 1900's. There is excitement on the horizon for the young man as he matures and prospers in the New York world of business, falls in love with a Ziegfeld Follies star, and begins a family. The book continues with the story of his daughter and her success singing on the New York stage and radio, and her courtship with a Navy Fire Controlman who serves on a destroyer during World War II. The combination of true events make this immigrant story unique and illustrates that dreams can truly become reality. The reader shares in the challenges, failures, successes, and joy of the characters. Fifty years of family history and historical events come alive in the saga of Thirty Bucks and a Dream.
