by Susan Barrett Price (Author)
In the early 20th century, how did a woman rise from her Irish immigrant roots to claim her place in the man's world of Midwestern America? Meet Kitty.
Kitty's People is the intimate portrait of the author's grandmother Kitty Flanagan. You'll walk in her footsteps from her youth as the daughter of ambitious Irish immigrants, through her years as a young mother and businesswoman plagued by senseless tragedy. Then, you'll cheer for her rise as the woman-in-charge-confident, organized, fierce, and supremely generous. Her story lies at the heart of a multi-generational family saga, woven from oral histories and deep research. Despite their talents and hard work, life for Kitty's people in the American Midwest becomes an epic battle. They must pit the goals of prosperity and loving family life against the forces of disease, organized crime, alcoholism, fires, a wicked stepmother, abortion, and cold-blooded murder. It's a wild ride from the turn-of-the-century Gilded Age to the Great Depression. How does Kitty manage? How does she find love and laughter in a world gone mad? If you love true stories of grit and perseverance, you'll love Kitty and her people. They are the salt of the earth.
