Bound together by recipes, reminiscences and tangled relationships, the Marchewka women are the foundation of their Polish American family. Together theyve learned to survive the hardships of emigration and assimilation in twentieth century America. But as the century evolves, so does each succeeding generation. As the older women keep a tight hold on the family through holidays, weddings, and Old World traditions passed from mother to daughter, the younger women are dealing with more modern problems, wounds not easily healed by the advice of a local priest or a kind word from mother.
