In My Father's House

About In My Father's House

From every conceivable culture, men joined together in foxholes to fight World War I -- the Great War that would bring the world together in peace, for all time. Jews and Irish, blacks and whites fought side by side and formed bonds of friendship that would tie them together forever. Max Meyer, a Jew from New York; Ellis Warne, an Irish doctor's son from Ohio; Birch Tucker, an Arkansas farm boy -- even Jefferson Canfield, the son of a black sharecropper. And as these men drew together in their common cause, the lives of their families became inextricably entwined. They prayed and hoped, wept and laughed-and rejoiced as one when their sons and brothers and fiancés came home from the battlefield. But even as the Armistice is declared, another battle rages on -- the undercurrents of racial, religious and cultural intolerance threaten the very foundations of the nation. Will there be any freedom -- any peace -- on the home front? - Author website.
