O ovoj e-knjizi
A “spirited” young adult novel of a teen immigrant’s challenges in NYC has “vivid period detail and strong female characters . . . [and] a hopeful conclusion” (Publishers Weekly).
The compelling story of a young girl’s newfound independence, from her entrance into a new country to her frightening involvement in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911.
My heart filled with fear and hope at the same time. I had the feeling that I was brought to America for a purpose. Something important would happen to me here.
I remembered the words of the poem, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses . . . ”
“Here we are, America,” I whispered. “We’re just exactly what you ordered.”
When she arrives on Ellis Island as a seventeen-year-old Irish immigrant, Rose Nolan is looking for a land of opportunities; what she finds is far from all she’d dreamed. Stubborn and tenacious, she refuses to give up. Left alone to fend for herself and her younger sister, Rose is thrust into a hard-knock life of tenements and factory work.
When the devastating Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911 sweeps through Rose’s life, her confusions are brought to an all-too-painful head. To whom and to what can she turn when everything around her is in ashes?
“Fast-paced, populated by distinctive characters, and anchored in Auch’s convincing sense of time and place.” —School Library Journal.
“The facts are riveting. . . . A good addition to women’s history titles.” —Booklist, boxed review
