Determined to make a new life, German widow Helga Heinrich and her four children sail into the seaport of Indianola.
There, Helga manages Stein House, where the boarders move through the lives of the family, revealing the rich texture of this seafaring town, the injustices of slavery, and the challenges of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
A woman of strong passion, Helga loves with abandon and refuses to bend, as her family is swept into the ravages of yellow fever, the agony of murder and alcoholism, and the loss of life and limb during the war and the ravages of hurricanes.
A compelling historical novel set in 19th century Texas, STEIN HOUSE is the second book in Myra Hargrave McIlvain's German Family Saga.
This is the large print edition of Stein House, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
