Illustrated by
Kathryn E. Shoemaker.
Marianne is evacuated in World War II's Kindertransport in this graphic novel based on the author's novel Remember Me. Limited-palette, charcoal-hued illustrations capture the melancholy nature of the story and Marianne's isolation from home and family; this tone is further underscored by the tight layout of the panels and the angle of the proverbial camera lens.

Seeking a safe, persecution-free life in the "Golden Land" of America, fourteen-year-old Miriam arrives on New York City's Lower East Side. While she is one of the fortunate Triangle Waist Company workers to escape the infamous fire, she also discovers the real America where the struggle to survive and prosper is arduous. A solid rendition of the early-twentieth-century Jewish immigrant experience.
