Beschreibung
A city paralyzed. Two brothers on opposite sides. One brutal winter that changed everything. New York City, February 1946. The war is over, but a new battle is just beginning. When a ferocious tugboat workers' strike grinds the world's busiest harbor to a halt, incoming shipments of coal, fuel, food, and medical supplies stop cold-and eight million people feel the freeze. At the center of the storm stand two brothers. Jack Logan, a war-weary ex-G. I. searching for peace on the water, wants only to build a life for his pregnant wife and unborn child. Benny Logan, a fiery union organizer, is ready to burn it all down for the cause. Against them looms Henry McFarland-a ruthless tugboat magnate who despises organized labor and believes that any hint of weakness leads only to certain demise. From the gilded suites of the Waldorf-Astoria to the frozen decks of the harbor, from Park Avenue power brokers to immigrant dockworkers and their families, Port City is a sweeping, cinematic saga of greed, ambition, loyalty, and redemption-set against a forgotten chapter of American history that feels startlingly urgent today. Praise for Port City:. "A carefully mounted depiction of a largely forgotten incident in 1940s New York. " -Kirkus Reviews. "Vivid and cinematic, and riveting. " -Marie Harris, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire. "A supercharged saga of transformation that will entertain. " -Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review. "Exquisite writing, terrific descriptions, and fascinating characters. " -The Book Commentary (5 Stars).

Perfect for readers of character-driven historical fiction who love:. Immersive, richly researched post-WWII settings. Sweeping family sagas with morally complex characters. Stories of labor, power, and the American working class. A gripping tale of the men and women who kept a great city alive-and the winter that nearly brought it to its knees.
