EXPANDED SYNOPSIS Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer MID-WEST BOOK REVIEW Many novels use the immigration experience to explore the early roots and influences of America, but Bob Prevost's in-depth focus and blend of family history and research brings the times alive like few others. Embedded with the influences and politics of the Prussian-Denmark wars and their economic, psychological, and social influence of generations of Mallast members, MALLAST 2 is a compelling account that follows ambitions and influences of parents, sons, and daughters.
