Synopsis:

From America's master storyteller and writer of historical fiction comes the epic story of the Crown family–first introduced in the New York Times bestseller Homeland.

As the second generation comes of age, the Crowns strive to find their place in a turbulent America which stands at the dawn of a new century. From the speedways of Detroit to the unbridled glamour of a young Hollywood, to the daring heights of early aviation–theirs is a story of passion and adventure, glory, and ambition, with all the wonder, promise, and splendor of…American Dreams.
