Ephraim Epstein's whole story is now accomplished in synopsis form... click on page to right to gobble up the overview. A synopsis by its nature has to leave out lots of fascinating detail, but I hope it conveys Ephraim's compelling character and the epic sweep of his life.
I'm now in final revisions of Part 5, his West Virginia years as college teacher and, then -- finally finished with grieving over William's death -- as a physician. Still green with sap, more children are born to him and Helena... and YES! he finds a new cause to champion. This (unsurprisingly, for him) leads to a final relocation, and to the firm which flourishes to this very day as a major international pharmaceutical company.
