"A Blazing Gilded Age" is the epic story of a volatile nation
burning with ambition, yet bleeding with injustice. It was a time
of profound change; boldly transforming from an agrarian backwater
into an industrial powerhouse. Center stage in this turbulent saga,
are the Wozniaks; a poor coal mining family struggling to achieve
the elusive American dream. Confronted by the evil ways of their
ruthless and depraved boss, Archibald Desmond Huxley, the Wozniak
family is thrust into utter turmoil, thus igniting a blazing
journey of revenge and survival. During the Wozniaks' quest, the
lavish lifestyle of Huxley and his fellow titans, including J.P.
Morgan, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain and
others, are woven into the story line, thus painting a broad and
vivid canvas of 19th century America. Springing to life are
legendary figures and historic events that accurately depict an era
boiling with bravado, innovation and astounding progress, yet
blistering with corporate greed, class warfare, and political
corruption. After many unexpected twists of fate (some fortuitous
and others heartbreaking), the Wozniaks emerge victorious, thus
finally achieving the American dream, yet not without scars. Both
powerful and poignant, "A Blazing Gilded Age" serves as an
entertaining and enlightening read of how and why America has gone
astray, and why it became a world leader. While on a personal
level, it imparts the harrowing, yet triumphant, tale of a family's
struggle to survive in an age that, in many ways, was as dark and
rough as coal, and, at times, could be as blazing as Hell.
