Synopsis "Gilded Lies: A 19th century immigrant adventure"

If you are falsely accused of murder, you have to make the best of it.In 2022, Peter Bodnár's DNA test reveals mysterious relatives. He dives into obsessive research to uncover his family's history.In 1882, a fatal pub fight forces young farmhand Gyuri (George) Bodnár to flee his homeland, Upper Hungary. He navigates his way through the cordons of gendarmes, survives the boiler room of an Atlantic-crossing steamer and tricks US immigration to find a new homeland.For some, this is the Gilded Age, but for newly arrived immigrants there is only bleak darkness: drudgery in coal mines for starvation wages or being on the blacklist and begging for work.George struggles with the machinations of criminals, a corrupt mine owner, his predatory wife, and the perils of child labor, but he is determined to make a better life for himself and his family. In order to succeed, he has to be willing to make tremendous sacrifices and lie to his own family, leaving behind ancestral mysteries that will wait 140 years to be discovered.A nineteenth century immigrant adventure about family, love and the unrelenting will to prosper.The first book in the series "Will Blood Tell?".
