The political culture of Italian-American immigrants in the early 20th century remains relevant today. In America this alternative to our contemporary reality is offered within an ambitious, visionary tale unlike anything since Edward Bellamy's late 19th century masterpiece, Looking Backward. What happens when the daughter of immigrants meets the president and the One Big Union spreads an eerie silence across the land? The answers pave a path to the rebirth of a nation and a new dawn for society. This is anticipatory fiction at its finest.
