About this product
Product Information
Accomplished businessman Richard J. Franke offers in Cut from Whole Cloth an intimate account of the American immigrant experience, recounting the moving story of his grandparents' struggle to build a new life in turn-of-the-century America. Franke draws on extensive primary sources to create an engrossing narrative of his Catholic grandfather and Lutheran grandmother as they flee religious intolerance and economic adversity in Germany and immigrate to America in 1884. They settle in Springfield, Illinois, where they start a family and business and live out the American dream--with its attendant perils and promises--as their business evolves from a tailor's shop to a modern, thriving dry cleaner. Their story is one of strife, frustration, and success. Franke chronicles how they struggle to raise a family in a foreign culture with radically different values, as the old world morals that fuel their prosperity give rise to ancient family tensions that haunt each new generation. By turns charming, wrenching, and poetic, Cut from Whole Cloth is an intensely personal yet timeless tale that will appeal to nearly every descendant of immigrants.

This is my first ever purchase from eBay cuz I’ve always been skeptical of sellers on here but I really wanted this item as I’ve been searching for it for a while now. Jamie (the seller) outdid herself and I am one happy customer. From the careful packaging, the “Thank You” card and item description (what I ordered is exactly what I got) being spot on. Thanks Jamie and I hope other people see this and buy more stuff from you. You’re the best 💐
