Smile The While: Volume Two: The Tiny Hook

by Tom Tyler

Smile The While is a picaresque, serio-comic saga following a family as its members strive to get ahead in the world. The story begins in 1849 and flows in tandem with much of American history for the next one hundred years as the family members fail, succeed, survive, and discover getting ahead in the world involves much more than hard work and luck.
