Family Secrets...Hidden in the Shadows of Time

Trapped and suffocated by the unending hardships of peasant life, Erzsi can do little but dream. That is, until the opportunity to make an exodus to the New World presents itself, and she makes the impossible choice to vie for a better life, far away from Hungary. Without a husband, she is eager to seek out love and marriage, but it could come at great cost. With the wonders of discovery comes the dangers of seduction, and the man she comes to love may not be all he seems. Forsaking her past for a better future and her family for the possibility of creating a new one, "Family Secrets...Hidden in the Shadows of Time" encapsulates the complex struggles of the 19th century immigrants, but also the enduring, stalwart spirit that allowed them to give up all they had and strike out into the unknown. With direct inspiration from the lives of Virginia Rafferty's Hungarian ancestors, "Family Secrets...Hidden in the Shadows of Time" brings a unique, highly personal twist to the genre, one that absolutely cannot be missed.
