(From back cover) Joe Stecher and Gurlie, his wife, are a young couple of European origin settled in New York at the turn of the century and working to make a place for themselves in the new world. It is also the story of the awakening consciousness of their children; the real heroine is the baby Flossie whose birth begins the book. Everything revolves around the baby and she is surely unique in literature.
