:Loved the book. Spanning countries and, cultures, a tight knit loving family forge ahead in the face of brutal and difficult times. Set at the turn of the century, the family flees Russia's anti-Semitic raids and slaughter to face the hardships and struggles of surviving in a new land- New York's lower east side. We follow a young girl, uprooted from terror to a new world where she faces abhorrent working conditions. Here she finds her strength, voice, direction and love. This is a beautifully written page turner with well developed characters who stay with you well after you have read the last page.
