IRONICALLY, THIS UTTERLY innocent portrayal of the Hymans as an all-American family—one reviewer of its sequel wrote that the books would be “good red, white and blue publicity” if translated into Russian—was written while they were under investigation by the FBI for alleged Communist activity. Suspicions were first raised when Shirley and Stanley arrived in Westport. As movers were unloading the truckload of books, one of the cartons broke open. Inside were numerous books and pamphlets by Stalin, Earl Browder, Howard Fast (then the editor of The New Masses), and others. One of the movers informed the FBI, kicking off an investigation that would continue for the next two years.
