Ellis Island was the gateway to America and the promise of freedom
for thousands. Its walls are rich with stories. Its walls are rich
with stories. In this book we hear myriad of those voices. First we
follow a young person today. Her great-great-grandmother entered
America through Ellis Island. As this young girl walks the halls of
the famous site, she wonders about the past, the people, and their
hopes, dreams and challenges.
Here, too, is the voice of Sera, an Armenian girl from the early
1900s. Fleeing the unthinkable in her home country, she longs to
join her father in America. As Sera enters the halls of Ellis
Island, she "lives" those same hopes, dreams, and challenges.
The voices of real immigrants -- their suffering in steerage,
their first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty, and their journey
through the Great Hall -- complete this touching look into an
important part of America's history. A pivotal time and place is
brought to life through a combination of many voices speaking in
harmony.
