AbstractAn autobiographical novel with scenes, events, and characters taken largely from the author's own life. "The strength of the book lies largely in its vividness as a study of the German element in American life, the German mind contrasted with the American mind. The author has written a beautiful study of German-American girlhood in Chicago, full of insight and truth."--Allan Nevins, dustjacket back flyleaf.
NotesCopyright by Elfrieda Pope Bestelmeyer [daughter of the author]; inscribed "To Bob Kraus with best wishes -- Elfrieda Pope Bestelmeyer, Christmas 1971."
