With graduation a mere three months away, Sophie's life is on track until a family brawl turns her world upside-down.

Balancing her new life while hiding her old, Sophie is overwhelmed. On one lonesome drive home she's involved in a life-changing car accident. Brooke's loyalty through it all has Sophie seeing her guardian in a whole new light-as the mother she desperately needs. If only Sophie can get the rest of her family to feel the same.

A sweeping nineteenth-century tale taking readers from the Old World to the New, from Prussia to New Orleans to the Illinois Prairie, Sophie poses questions of identity and belonging all of us wrestle with. Even though it is a work of historical fiction, Sophie's story-her experiences of love and loss, triumph and adversity, joy and sorrow, and how she makes her way through them-is our story too.Who is Sophie Rieple?Even she doesn't know.Mere weeks ago, she was an adoring wife, contented homemaker, and loving mother to two darling little girls. After immigrating to America, she is now none of those things. Illness stole the life of her youngest on the ship, then took her beloved husband and their remaining child after their arrival in New Orleans.A stranger in a strange land, adrift and penniless, Sophie has no family, no home, and no connections to anchor her soul. What she has are questions and no immediate answers.Should she stay in the Crescent City and try to make a life there? Or make her way-alone-to the Illinois prairie her husband's family now calls home?Her striking beauty may help her secure employment, but what will happen when it fades? Are her dogged determination and fierce desire to belong enough to sustain her as she searches for a way back home to herself?Is there a future in America for her-one with a place and people she can call her own-or is Sophie's life over almost before it ever truly began?
At fourteen Sophie Kamler crossed the Atlantic alone, from Poland to America. At sixteen she paid for her siblings and mother to follow. At eighteen, a penniless wife, then a mother of three, she defied New York gangsters.At fifty six, a widow, she married again only to be widowed a second time. Matriarch to a sprawling but tightly held family of descendants, hers is a story of ambition - of love given, withheld, slighted, sustained and disappointed.Told here by her granddaughter, Barbara Kamler, in riveting vignettes, photographs and poetic reflections, this tale will resonate with the experience of so many remarkable women, minimising the complexity and vibrancy of their lives.
Leo remembers the first time he met Sophie. When Leo first approached her, she was so focused on the book in front of her that she didn't even notice him. Now, as Leo grows closer to Sophie, he begins to appreciate this aspect of his friend's personality. Sophie possesses a sense of pride and determination that can take her far in life, but the actions of a conniving adult may ruin everything. Sophie is hiding a secret. She and her mother are illegal immigrants from Syria. Sophie learned the American ideals of independence and perseverance from her wise grandfather, and she is determined to find a way for her family to stay legally. She and Leo start a business together to raise money so Sophie can hire an immigration lawyer. But can one thirteen-year-old girl really keep her family safe? When Ingrid Sanders, a local politician who knows about Sophie's secret, begins using the girl for her own ends, Sophie is faced with an enormously difficult decision. Should she go along with Ingrid's schemes, or should she stand up for what she believes in? The decision will have a major impact on Sophie, her mother, and Leo himself
