(4) 4-6 Ellis Island series. Dreams tells of Kristin Swensen from Sweden, Hope features Rebekah Levinsky from Russia, and Promise focuses on Irish Rose Carney's immigration story. Although formulaic, these books present three strong female characters whose attempts to reconcile their heritage with their new lives offer an interesting look at important eras in American history.
