About this book

Their passions paved the road to America's dreams... They began on a humble dirt farm — and became the millionaire titans of the industrial age. PIETER — the patriarch. He'd known the pain and pleasure of back-breaking work, and no one could cheat him of the riches and power he reaped — not even his beautiful wife... JACOB, who saw the railroad unite East to West, then lived to fight the bitter battles to preserve it... Elegant ANTONIA, who climbed to the pinnacle of New York society and ruled the glittering "400"... Lovely REGINA, forced to marry English nobility, escaped to find happiness in the arms of a wild-hearted Irishman. With ruthless courage and pride, they built an unshakable dynasty — forged an American empire of passion and steel. It was...The Van Rhyne Heritage.
