In the Shadows of the Onion Domes
Mary Pat Hyland, author
Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)
By the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango rivers in New York's Southern Tier lies a valley whose shoe factories drew thousands of immigrants from across Europe. The company has since moved on, but what remains are the distinct ethnic flavors of a gritty community determined to overcome economic woes, adapt to the rapid changes in society and find true meaning in life. These stories are inspired by observed characters, whispered gossip, and the local lore of the residents whose neighborhoods are framed by the gilded Orthodox Church domes that span this valley.
