From the Jewish ghetto of tiny Frauenkirchen in nineteenth-century Austria-Hungary to a tight-knit Catholic community in the American Midwest at the turn of the twentieth century, Distant Sons explores connections and separation, theme and variation in the lives of two generations. It is the dramatic story of Miriam and Magdalena, a mother and daughter from different worlds in different times, and the choices they face: questions of love, commitment, fulfillment, and survival. Their decisions about faith and family, love and loss, search and surrender will not only map out the courses of their own lives, but also shape their legacy in generations to come down to the present day.Distant Sons is a tale of love across boundaries and in defiance of culture and convention. Based on real events and inspired by real people, Distant Sons is a testimony to the strength of the human spirit and the resilience of ordinary people.
