  • "A thirteen-year-old Jewish orphan reluctantly leaves her grandmother and immigrates to New York City, where she works for three years sewing lace and earning money to bring Grandmother to the United States, too. Suggested level: primary, intermediate."
  • "Set at the start of the 19th century, when Jessie, a young Jewish girl, migrates to the United States and begins a new life_"
  • "Une jeune orpheline vit avec sa grand-mère. Alors qu'elle montre à son aïeule à lire et à écrire, celle-ci l'initie à faire de la dentelle. A cause de ce talent, la fillette est désignée pour aller à New York, venir en aide à la belle-soeur du rabbin. Après une longue traversée où elle se rend utile et fait la connaissance d'un garçon, elle s'installe à l'atelier de couture de cousine Kay. Ses doigts font des merveilles. Elle travaille, économise, retrouve son compagnon de voyage, fait venir sa grand-mère et se marie. Cette belle histoire d'amour d'une grand-mère et de sa petite-fille, d'une jeune fille et d'un garçon, est riche de sentiments. Elle témoigne aussi du courage des immigrants et permet un regard sur l'Amérique de la fin du 19e siècle, terre promise de plusieurs. Cette trame est enrichie d'illustrations expressives de grande qualité."
