An absorbing epic view of daily life in the 1930s through the tragedy of 9/11 tracing the valiant Schecter family's ongoing struggles. The story follows head of the family, Norman, fiercely battling for the creation of a teachers' union during the crucible of the Great Depression. His beloved wife, Marsa, strives to keep their family fed and clothed.

Neatly woven throughout their lives is how their love for each other and their children is threatened yet keeps them together. Moving back and forth in time, we read the heart-felt stories of a wide group of fascinating people both in the United States and abroad.

The book is a mirror of the present recession, the moral and economic dilemmas bombarding people today, and how through perseverance and hope we can overcome the worst of circumstances.

A Penny for the Violin Man is both a panoramic view of tumultuous times and a fascinating journey.
