In the cold world of Manchester in 1905 the family Sandberg found the good things of life scarce and the hardships bitter as the chill northern winds.
Sarah, the mother. A born survivor stranded in a land of strangers by the vicious tides of persecution.
David, the eldest son. Growing to manhood in a new world and torn between the clear-cut lines of duty and his own driving ambition.
Through the Great War and the Depression, through the first fears of darker years to come, the Sandbergs reach out for the bitter and the sweet of life, the almonds and the raisins.
