This is the story of a half-German, Half-Irish middle class family,
some of them first generation immigrants, coping with tragic sudden
death in a pre silicone San Francisco Bay Area. Like the mighty
tides pounding through the Golden Gate, the lives of these family
members ebb and flow through generations. The narrative is seen
through the eyes of a young student architect who suddenly becomes
responsible for five orphans. The saga depicts the sharp edges of
Old World social and religious bigotries being worn down in the
great American melting pot. The orphans grow into amazingly
successful adults as the old generation cycles into the great
beyond.
