(3) YA 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.
