With World War I looming and communists overrunning Hungary, one
family makes a critical decision: They will leave their home and
journey to America.
Benjamin and Julianna look forward to a better future for
themselves and their children, Marri, Pauley and Lizzie. But when
Julianna realizes they are actually entering the United States
illegally, she understands for the first time that life in the land
of opportunity may not be as simple as she thought.
After a long and difficult journey, the family passes through
Ellis Island, which is guarded over by the Statue of Liberty. But
that's the easy part, as now the family needs to learn a new
language, adapt to a new culture and find ways to earn a living.
They also seek out an elusive relative who is supposedly somewhere
in the mammoth city.
Join one family and look at life from their various
perspectives as each one tries to overcome the odds to live a life
they can be proud of in Beautiful Lady.
