Tinder Street Saga #5
A Changing World
Just as people all over America in the second-half of the 1930s, the people of Tinder Street are struggling to survive. They have their triumphs and their challenges, their joys and their heartbreaks, but the McNallys and their extended family never give up and continue to help their neighbors and even strangers in need.
Hardworking family men who once brought home steady paychecks stand in long lines trying to find any kind of day labor that might earn them enough to put food on the table. Even those who find steady work earn pennies on the dollar compared to what they had before the Great Depression turned the world as they had known it upside down. It is a gloomy time where people hope for better days ahead, meanwhile fearing the talk of war in Europe, and wondering if America would be drawn into the fray.
The Wirtz family on their small farm in Michigan is facing difficult times themselves, but at least Jacob Wirtz is able to grow enough food to get by. Even in the face of devastating personal losses, they knew that they could survive. But that faith was tested when a terrible act of vengeance wipes away everything they knew.
In addition to the hard times that everybody is experiencing, Lucas Morgan struggles to put aside the terrible memories of his service in the Great War to help his oldest son realize his dream. Can he do it, or will the demons of the past stand in his son's way?
And Samuel Wirtz, still living with his own demons of alcohol and abuse, finds himself in a position he never expected. Will he rise to meet the challenge, or slink away in the night, as he has always done in the past?
Readers will experience what it was like for the generations who came before us and how they prevailed through hard times and unimaginable setbacks in A Changing World, the fifth book in the Tinder Street saga, a story New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell has felt compelled to write and has researched for years.

Excellent
Nick has a very strong investigation streak that's very interesting. I follow his blog daily and know that he has a very good idea and time line for his books.
I have read most of his books numerous times and still haven't lost any interest in them.
I highly recommend your reading his books.

Another great story from Nick Russell.
I have read all of the books in this saga. I feel this one of the best saga I have read since the Ophann Trainn series.
I recommend this series to anybody who wants to learn about the early 1900's and how people survived some of the toughest years in our history.

Love this book! Best of the series! I always thoroughly enjoy Nick Russell's books, and this was probably the best to date! I really love reading the ongoing story of the family. All the characters seem to come alive! Can't wait for the next Tinder Street saga! In the meantime, I'll be enjoying the next Big Lake book! Thank you, Nick!

A great series
This series of books should be made into a TV series. It’s that good of a story. Think The Waltons!
