In this sequel to Black Radishes, Gustave and his family have escaped Nazi-occupied France and are now living in New York. Although they are safe, life isn’t easy for the Beckers. The family struggles to make ends meet and they live in a cramped apartment. Gustave gradually learns American ways, but he is shocked to discover prejudice and inequality even in the land of opportunity, and when he becomes friends with September Rose, who is African-American, he must decide whether to stand by her or abandon their friendship to fit in.
