It is a journey of hope and uncertainty, a journey that will take her to a new land, a new home, and--if she has chosen wisely--a good life.

Here is a lyrical tribute to the millions of immigrants who left their homes to begin anew in America--and an enchanting look at how one woman carves out a life with the help of a common shovel.
