Description
Street Corner Dreams is a family saga, a love story, a gangster tale, and a suspense story, set during Prohibition, the Spanish Flu epidemic, and the Depression. In 1914, Golda and her pregnant sister, Esther, embark from Europe for New York to meet Esther's husband, Ben. When Esther dies on board giving birth, Golda gives up her dreams of independence, marries her brother-in-law, and devotes herself to the care for her sister's child, Morty. The family struggles to survive in the teeming tenements of Brooklyn, where Jewish gangsters rule the streets. Their dreams are thwarted by the loss of their own child to the Spanish flu and then the Depression, when Ben's poor business decisions get him into trouble with criminal loan sharks. Morty is studying to be an engineer and has fallen in love with Anna, the niece of an Italian gangster, but Morty feels he must rescue his father from crushing debt by asking a favor from a mobster friend. The power of the gangs proves too strong, however, and Morty is pulled into their orbit. When he flees, he's forced to sacrifice his dream of engineering and desert his family and the woman he loves wondering if he can ever find a safe way back home.
