From the cover -
From the scandalous sweatshops of the Lower East Side to dazzling Fifth Avenue emporiums, they all dreamed of a brighter future. But to each it was a different dream...
Hannah Levy, the matriarch. She saved her family from Russia's pogroms only to face a bitter new struggle on America's golden shores...
Sarah Levy, the firebrand daughter. She led her sisters in the shirtwaist-maker's strike, but faced her greatest challenge on the battlefield of love...
Ruby Levy, her ambitious sister. She was a genius with ribbon and lace, but an innocent when it came to men...
Rachel Cohen, the gorgeous rebel. She demanded freedom - and thought she found it in the arms of a rich man's son.

Found this book a few blocks from the mall in DC this afternoon. I've gone hunting before, but never just stumbled upon a book in the wild. I was so excited! I'm looking forward to reading and releasing it, but it might be a few weeks; I'll get to it right after finals.
Edited, 8/17/2010: Tried reading this several times, but could never get interested in it. Will be released soon.
