Review by: Pat Robison on Dec. 07, 2011 :
A MUST read! It has been a while since I read both books in the La Immigrata series, but the characters and stories remain with me. Since our country was founded by immigrants, this is everyones story. Fascinating read of the struggles, heartbreaks & successes of this family as they integrate into a new country and culture. The novels are enhanced by all the historical facts of the area that add an education aspect for the reader. MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Review by: peggy clark on Dec. 02, 2011 :
I loved this book. Based on a true story, the author did an amazing amount of research prior to writing the book. She interlaces the storyline with historical facts. Anyone, who's ancestors immigrated to America, can relate to this story. History buffs will love how the storyline is supported by historical facts of that time period and local businesses. It's a very touching, and informative novel.
