The Next Ship Home: A Novel of Ellis Island by Heather Webb
4.0
Francesca is an immigrant to the United States from Italy. She and her sister arrive at Ellis Island searching for a better life on the same day that Alma, a young German-American woman, arrives to begin her first day as a matron; assisting the immigrants as they are processed, detained and/or returned to their home country.
The two women begin to navigate a system that is known to manipulate and take advantage of the desperate immigrants and they form an unlikely friendship.
Raises a lot of thought-provoking ideas.
