Uncompromising — Elizabeth Lydia Bodner

Turn of the century Historical drama, involving an ambitious woman, from eastern europe, whose sole desire was to open her own hotel. Following her instinctual marketing powers, Lizzie started the Albred Hotel across from the first George Westinghouse Plant in Eastern Pennsylvania. Her second ambition was to send her first son, Johnny, to St.Vincent prep school in Latrobe at fourteen to begin to study for the priesthood. Many historical landscapes described from deep research - in this novel - which Maine Writers and Publishers listed on their best seller list for two months in 1997.
