The Prodigal Sons

Having returned home to Sicily alone, Angelu's letters to his brothers in Philadelphia mysteriously cease. Only later is John able to ferret out the truth: that their mother fell victim to cruel betrayal, and died of a broken heart.

Traveling back to Sicily to exact vengeance will not be easy, nor will it be happy. But such a vendetta cannot be ignored. So, at long last, the brothers who fled Sicily as frightened young boys return as wronged men, determined to find justice, even if they have to dispense it themselves. But justice, if such a thing exist, carries a heavy cost.

This is the thrilling conclusion to The New Americans saga.

Reminiscent of John Jakes' Bicentennial series, The New Americans by Tony and Ty Drago is a wonderfully moving saga. The genesis of the story is itself a tale: in his final weeks, Tony Drago tape-recorded what his son Ty thought were simple reminiscences. It was only in the years following Tony's death, after Ty became an established novelist, that he listened to the tapes and realized his father had left him, not a family history, but rather an emotional novel of immigration, rebirth, and growth. Milherst Publishing is honored to bring this story to the world.
