"Where's Cherry?" digs into questions of cultural and ethnic respect for all people, indigenous native people, black African slaves, European immigrants, an extensive parade of characters. The Tobins are the accomplished self-made people who make this story come to life. Not just a story of St. Louis, cities everywhere suffered the same conditions. A solid presentation of many minor characters fill the pages: historical figures and common people populating a place. The main protagonists are the Tobins: Jim and Mary and five children. They reside in a tough section of an industrial city where factories, foundries, rail lines and business are interspersed with homes, schools, and churches. How will Mary Tobin, after becoming a widow, deal with life? Cherry Tobin, his brother Syl and the three sisters, Margaret, Brigid, and Annie follow Mary's example into adulthood. They learn. They observe. They make decisions. They are determined to reach the goal everyone wants and needs. Change.
