After his extended family secretly arranges a meeting with Emilia, the pair marries and begins a life together in Essen. William, who wants his career to take precedence over Emilias, expects her to serve only as his wife. After the couple emigrates to Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1877, Emilia focuses her attention on fulfilling the personal and educational needs of their three childrenElise, William, and Herman. Now as the children mature and develop dreams of their own, they must overcome their own obstacles and attempt to achieve success during uncertain times in America.

Over the Rhine is a multigenerational tale that shares the struggles and triumphs of a German-American family endeavoring to make their mark during the turn of the twentieth century.
