In evoking the joy and pain of the Jewish immigrant experience,
Anzia Yezierska has no peer. Her stories and novels, written from
the 1920s to the 1960s, immortalized the Jews of New York's Lower
East Side and their struggle to escape poverty and to partake of
America's promise. How I Found America gathers together all of
Yezierska's short fiction: the two collections published during her
lifetime--Hungry Hearts and Children of Loneliness--and seven
additional tales. Each story is authentic and immediate, as
memorable as family history passed from one generation to the next.
taken together, they constitute an enduring portrait of a time and
a people.
