Book
One Shining Moment
First published 1995
The war in Europe is over and a new feeling of freedom is sweeping across America. The skirts are getting shorter, the women are getting faster, and the Stuart family is caught up in a sea of changes. From daring cross-country flights to seedy speakeasies to the Salvation Army headquarters, the Stuarts cross paths with the likes of Louis Armstrong, Rudolph Valentino, and Al Capone himself while they chase their dreams--and try to stay alive! Can the Stuart family survive in this country turned upside down?
Set against Roaring Twenties, Silent-Era Hollywood, 1920–1929, and Prohibition-era American Organized Crime, it combines family saga, social change and romance with a Christian examination of ambition, temptation and the obligations joining successive generations.
