About this item
by Havelah McLat (Author)
One girl. One locket. One journey across the ocean.
In 1932, deaf eleven-year-old Anika Bohdan escapes famine-depleted Ukraine with one hope: to reunite with her papa, Tato, in America. After a perilous ocean voyage, she arrives in Manhattan alone and frightened. When Tato does not show up to meet her, Anika sets out to find him. Barely speaking English, she must navigate a strange and overwhelming city, dependent on the kindness of strangers, the companionship of a stray dog, and the strength of her own will.
All she has is her treasured locket and the memory of her papa's smile.
Failure means losing Tato forever.
This heartfelt story explores resilience, identity, and finding one's voice against the backdrop of historical upheaval.
