A young Italian woman arrives on the shores of America, her sights set on a better life. That same day, a young American woman reports to her first day of work at the immigration center. But Ellis Island isn't a refuge for Francesca or Alma, not when ships depart every day with those who are refused entry to the country and when corruption ripples through every corridor. While Francesca resorts to desperate measures to ensure she will make it off the island, Alma fights for her dreams of becoming a translator, even as women are denied the chance. As the two women face the misdeeds of a system known to manipulate and abuse immigrants searching for new hope in America, they form an unlikely friendship--and share a terrible secret--altering their fates and the lives of the immigrants who come after them. This is a novel of the dark secrets of Ellis Island, when entry to the land of the free promised a better life but often delivered something drastically different, and when immigrant strength and female friendship found ways to triumph even on the darkest days." -- Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Ellis Island Immigration Station (N.Y. and N.J.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Corruption $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Discrimination $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 610 26 $a Ellis Island Immigration Station (N.Y. et N.J.) $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a EÌmigration et immigration $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a AmitieÌ $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a AmitieÌ feÌminine $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Corruption $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Livres en gros caracteÌres. 650 7 $a large print books. $2 aat 610 27 $a Ellis Island Immigration Station (N.Y. and N.J.) $2 fast 650 7 $a Corruption $2 fast 650 7 $a Discrimination $2 fast 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $2 fast 650 7 $a Female friendship $2 fast 650 7 $a Friendship $2 fast 650 7 $a Immigrants $2 fast 650 7 $a Large type books $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq 655 7 $a large print books. $2 aat 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Large print books $2 fast 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Livres en gros caracteÌres. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 $n 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20231218100615.0 $n 15 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A55443F89DAF11EEA1F728E90F3FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
