With the war between the states over, the country explodes into a time of great idealism. Flip of the coin, innovation, and celebration take hold as exuberating new ideas become vast enterprises in a time of glitter and glamor. Michael and Samantha prosper, taking Gerard's company beyond the confines of river barges.
New York becomes a mecca for immigrants from Ireland and Italy as they mesh with the old society of the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, and Astor's. Brooklyn becomes a large city as families settle over the bridge to escape the horrid conditions of the city.
A new police commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt, brings order out of chaos. Tamine Hall is a power to be reckoned with. Officer Patrick Harrigan joins the force, finding his days filled with brief excitement as he arrests prostitutes and felons. Countess Emma DiMartino must live without her maid, finding a home in a tenement with her sister-in-law and their three children. Gina Spinelli, the maid discharged and separated on the dock in New York harbor, is on her own to find lodging, and employment. Bewildered by the noise, the activity around the docks, she meets Peter Hoffman, who is to be a dramatic part of her adjustment to the new world. A cobbler from Calabria must deal with the extortion he tried to escape in the new land. Combine to create a story of how their courage to flip the coin created the greatest power and economy that was the golden age.
