A moving story about one family's daring journey from Poland to America and their hope for a better future in their new home. Available again in paperback. Krysia does not want to leave her home and her friend, Michi, but there are soldiers with guns on the streets and her mother says that they must go. Krysia, her two brothers, and her mother pack their favorite belongings and begin their harrowing journey to America. Krysia is scared but is comforted by the knowledge that her father is waiting for her in America with the promise of a better tomorrow. Moving and heartfelt, this is a powerful reminder of the beacon of hope and opportunity that Ellis Island symbolized and the importance of family at Christmastime.
