In San Francisco, in the post-1906-earthquake era, young Ann White—a daughter of Irish immigrants—does what it takes to survive…
Amid a backdrop of poverty, politics, and Prohibition, her father turns to bootlegging, and Ann becomes his unlikely accomplice, transporting whiskey through the streets of San Francisco in a doll-covered wagon alongside her spirited, fun-loving sister Bette.
As the decades unfold—from the Spanish Flu and Prohibition to the Great Depression and World War II—Ann endures hardship after hardship. She makes her way through the gritty underbelly of a city in flux, complete with brushes with violence and a family strained by addiction, ambition, and misfortune.
Will Ann manage to overcome the difficulties and live a life worth living?
Written by Joseph Andrew Cerny, a San Francisco native and retired family physician, the book draws on stories passed down by his grandmother Ann White—the real-life inspiration for this novel. A descendant of multiple bootleggers, Cerny combines deep historical research with personal family history for this novel.
