About the Book
Count Stefan Vladeslav is wandering about Marshall Fields department store while waiting for his wife to be fitted for a dress. He sees the art gallery and enters, lured by a sign promising beautiful paintings of New Orleans women. In the gallery, he finds a painting of his previous wife, Barbra, who he abandoned in Zagreb when he came to America. How could this be? A chat with the artist reveals she is, in fact, now a resident of New Orleans and he even learns on which street she lives. His American wife’s social circles in Gary, Indiana include steel mill executives who believe the immigrant workers are lazy and despise them for getting injured on the job. This insults Stefan. He wants to be back among his Croatian people. He wants to be back with Barbra. Is that Stefan’s destiny?
