TRAIN FROM THOMPSONVILLE
Toward the end of the Depression, the Ludaks struggle with jobs, ethnic hostility, and widespread class prejudice in their upstate New York factory hometown of Thompsonville. But life for their daughter Joanna proves wide and adventurous; jubilant, if sometimes terrifying. Her coming-of-age as a Polish Catholic, blue-collar, scrubbed but culturally hobbled youngster is a riveting fi ctional odyssey of painful confrontations with both natal and dominant community values.
