 r's So Big offers a deep look into the dynamics of early 20th century Amer
 ica\, exploring pressing and contemporary themes of poverty\, Americanizat
 ion\, family strife\, sexism\, and success. With vivid descriptions of the
  daily life of the lower-class Dutch immigrant community\, this novel prov
 ides a unique perspective on a society that has long been forgotten. A tal
 e of resilience\, love\, and the pursuit of happiness\, So Big will leave 
 readers thinking long after they finish the last page. Inspired by the tru
 e-life events of Antje Paarlberg\, So Big is a Pulitzer Prize award-winnin
 g drama that depicts the life of Selina Peake de Jong as she navigates the
  challenges of turn-of-the-century Chicago\, Illinois.</p>\n<p>Read the eb
