John Jake's Homeland: A Review

Homeland, John Jake's formidable novel about the final explosive
events of the nineteenth century, in the first in a series that will focus
attention on a new "Jakes" family, the Crowns.
Multiple characters and settings at the norm for Jakes; however,
this story rivets primary attention on Paul Crown, a young German immigrant.
Paul leaves behind a Germany of cholera, poverty, and political upheaval
only to face problems of equal magnitude in America.
Undaunted by a difficult ocean crossing, Paul arrives at Ellis
Island penniless but naively optimistic about his future. He makes his
weary way to the opulent home of his uncle, Joe Crown, a well-established
brewer in Chicago. ...

when compared to Paul's mature approach to
life and work.
Jades utilizes the character of Paul to introduce the reader to the
fledgling business of moving pictures. Paul is fascinated with this new
"art form;" which involves him in many adventures including war, a brush
with death, and marrying his first love.
This first novel of the Crown series does a creditable job in
setting the stage for future adventures of Paul Crown and his budding new
family.
