With World War I looming and communists overrunning Hungary, one family makes a critical decision: They will leave their home and journey to America. Benjamin and Julianna look forward to a better future for themselves and their children, Marri, Pauley and Lizzie. But when Julianna realizes they are actually entering the United States illegally, she understands for the first time that life in the land of opportunity may not be as simple as she thought. After a long and difficult journey, the family passes through Ellis Island, which is guarded over by the Statue of Liberty. But that's the easy part, as now the family needs to learn a new language, adapt to a new culture and find ways to earn a living. They also seek out an elusive relative who is supposedly somewhere in the mammoth city. Join one family and look at life from their various perspectives as each one tries to overcome the odds to live a life they can be proud of in Beautiful Lady.
"YOUNG CHILDREN" have hundreds of tales to tell, most of them humorous, with a special blend of love and emotion. I tried to share some of my favorites from these formative years. "THE TEENAGERS" are so much more secretive in their storytelling. My parents hadn't a clue as to what was going on in my mind during the mid-1940's. Read about how we all share in the triumphs and the disappointments of our teen years. "LOVE, MARRIAGE & CHILDREN" go hand in hand, along with trying to build a home, literally, for your family. Raising children is a wonderful experience. This portion of the book contains more humor than I anticipated. Most of us can relate to these sentimental anecdotes. "OLD AGE" brings with it a multitude of problems, but I wouldn't change it for the world. It also brings grandchildren, who light up my life and make each day a joy. I have attempted to write about all the inspiration they have bestowed upon this humble writer. "JOIN ME" as we go through many of these precious golden moments.
