Описание:
Opportunity comes knocking at John and Ida Wienke's door on New Year's Day, 1904, but they don't understand the havoc that rap will bring to their family life.
With the birth of their daughter Helen, Ida and John are building a happy life in Woodstock, Illinois. Even when Ida is diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening condition, John continues to work long hours at the Typewriter factory, so he can pursue the goal of being a fine grocer of Woodstock.
In Racine, Wisconsin, when Ida's sister, Clara Doering, begins a career as an investigative reporter, she must navigate gender stereotypes and the many amorous men of the city; her motto being "Pursue the Truth."
All bets are off when John's brother, Bob, sets his sights on making a bundle from an assured World Series win for his beloved Cubs even after promising his gambling days are over.
In the second book of the Woodstock Tales, the Wienke and Doering families must face life's trials and tribulations bringing both celebration and heartbreak during the years 1904-1907.

Описание:
John Wienke of Woodstock, Illinois, is looking for a wife and Ida Doering of Racine, Wisconsin, has all but given up on finding a husband. Friends step in, and soon they are engaged in a long-distance courtship through letters, electric train trips, and this newfangled contraption called a telephone. Eventually, Ida can stand it no more. She forces the issue and the date is set. But moving to Woodstock means beginning a whole new life and moving in with John's mother. Now with John's job at the typewriter factory in jeopardy and a potential pregnancy to consider, John and Ida must decide whether to face the hardships of the new century together -- or apart.
The story of John, Ida, and their German emigrant families is told through narration, actual newspaper accounts from The Woodstock Sentinel and the Racine Journal Times, and letters sent over the years.
Woodstock, thoroughly modern and prosperous in 1900, looms large in this story. As the town grows so does the family. Each chapter of Take Me Home to Woodstock details one year in the lives of Ida, John, and their extended families. Take Me Home to Woodstock engages the reader in the day-to-day life, the trials and tribulations, the celebrations and joys of life in early Woodstock.
