(4) 4-6 The sight of America fills twelve-year-old Sarah, a Russian immigrant, with hope, but that changes when her mother dies on Ellis Island. Alone and in New York City illegally, Sarah finds refuge first inside the Statue of Liberty and then on the Lower East Side. Sarah's adventure is engaging, but the many people she encounters are undeveloped. Historical notes are included. Timeline.
