Overview

Pap worried Harry would be so very far from the farm if he made it to the finish line. He knew his number-three son was not cut out for the life he had chosen for himself. But Cleveland? The city was filled with sin and temptation. In 1914, Harry Kern speeds into Cleveland, Ohio with a race to win and nothing to lose. His new-found celebrity garners him a job in the automotive industry and the admiration of a certain policeman's daughter. What follows is a mix of everyday life, not-so-ordinary family drama, and...murder? Based on the lives of the author's grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles, Harry Kern intertwines fact and fiction into a sometimes unbelievable but often true story of a family living in the first half of the twentieth century.
