From activist to family matriarch, Barbara Lavette takes center stage
in the final three volumes of the New York Times–bestselling
Immigrants saga. New York Times–bestselling author Howard
Fast’s immensely popular Immigrants saga spanned six novels and more
than a century of the Lavette family history. The series was
considered one of the crowning achievements of the prolific author,
who also penned Spartacus, Freedom Road, and April Morning. The
Legacy: In this New York Times bestseller, Barbara, the daughter of
self-made Italian immigrant Dan Lavette, navigates the turmoil of the
1960s, including the Vietnam War, the feminist and civil rights
movements, and Israel’s Six Day War with Egypt. “A wonderful
book.” —Los Angeles Times The Immigrant’s Daughter: At sixty,
Barbara is living a quiet life in San Francisco, grieving after the
death of a longtime male friend. But when she mounts an unexpectedly
competitive congressional campaign, she reconnects with her past as a
journalist and human rights activist, and her spirits revive, in this
New York Times Bestseller. An Independent Woman: In this emotional
farewell, Barbara, the rock and matriarch of her family, marries a
Unitarian priest, and together they travel the world—until she faces
the toughest challenge of her life. “Eventful and
well-crafted . . . Loyal fans of Fast’s opus will welcome this
bittersweet reunion with a woman they have come to know and admire.”
