The Holzs and Wards are among the millions of little-known families whose hopes and dreams, inventiveness, work ethic and perseverance were transplanted from the rigidity of European culture to root in the opportunity of American soil. The cultural, culinary, social and industrial histories of the United States are found in the stories of these two families. Their origins, though obscure and humble, provided the drive to create better lives for themselves and their children. America''s greatness was born and continues through the experiences of families such as these. The stories told in Kitchen Table Tales engage and captivate. Through them readers will recognize the richness of their own families' contributions to America's promise and appetite.
