Discover life at Ellis Island during its busiest years, and the fears and dreams of every immigrant, through one determined young girl’s journey to America.
In the early 1900s, Leah and her family escape persecution as Jews in Russia and sail to a new life in the new world. But when Leah alone is detained at Ellis Island, she confronts her biggest obstacle yet: what if she is sent back?
