Description

Letters from Rifka tells the story of an immigrant family's journey to America in 1919. A young girl named Rifka flees Russia with her family, dreaming of safety and freedom. She carries a cherished volume of poetry by Alexander Pushkin, recording her observations and experiences in the form of letters to her beloved cousin Tovah. As Rifka navigates this new country, she faces numerous challenges: humiliating examinations, deadly typhus, separation from loved ones, and more. Despite these hardships, she remains strong-hearted and determined. Based on a true story from the author's family, Letters from Rifka presents a real-life heroine with an uncommon courage and unsinkable spirit. This powerful and moving novel is based on a remarkable true story of survival and resilience.
