The Valley of Decision

Resumen

The Valley of Decision is an historical novel by the American writer Marcia Davenport. It was a national bestseller in the 1940s and adapted into a film, The Valley of Decision, in 1945.
During the late 1930s Davenport, best known for her biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, spent several years in Pittsburgh, her imagination caught by the drama of American industry. In 1942, Charles Scribner's Sons published her Pittsburgh novel, The Valley of Decision. It was an instant success, and its story of four generations of the Scott family—owners and operators of a Pittsburgh iron and steel works.
