About this item
by Regina A. McIntyre (Author)
This is the heartwarming story of Polish immigrants who band together
in their closeknit Philadelphia neighborhood to navigate the most dire
challenges of the early twentieth century. Prohibition in the tumultuous
twenties prompts them to organize an underground network for the
illegal production of alcohol, which provides them financial stability.
"Alki-cookers" put meat on the table and maintains the roofs over
their heads, as they develop strategies to outsmart the law.
When the Volstead Act is repealed, the dark days of the depression
re-ignite the struggle for survival they faced when they first chose to
emigrate to America for a better quality of life. Their unwavering
persistence and determination enable them to grapple with the odds
against them, with the conviction that the ends justify the means.
One way or another, they manage to put bread on the table
and keep their familes' hopes alive.
