This Golden Land

About the Book

An epic story of tough ambitious immigrants to California—Aaron, Jan and Rose. In brash little Los Angeles, each battles the way toward the top-one bringing in gushers in the fledgling oil discoveries; one fighting for stardom in the raw new movie industry; one, for the sake of his wife, trying for acceptance in a proud and closed society.
