Based on a real family's history this first book in The Dohlen
Inheritance trilogy spans the years 1913-1932. It tells the
extraordinary stories of Gabriele, Emil and Dorinda Dohlen as they
make their way from Germany after the Great War to Prohibition
America. Haunted right from the start by the legacy their German
mother leaves them the Dohlen orphans fight to control their
destiny by following in their pioneering father's footsteps. They
each create fascinating and very different lives as their fortunes
rise and fall. Prejudice and cruelty, greed and bigotry make their
days hell as the children try to break away from the domination of
corrupt relatives, a bungling guardian-and each other.
Misunderstanding and tragedy overtake the young Dohlens as fate
pulls them back to Germany, where the threat of Adolf Hitler's
policies eventually leads them to an unexpected realisation of
their true inheritance.
