Description: "When Pogroms in Eastern Europe force little Nora's family to flee to America, they discover at the last moment that they haven't enough funds to pay for everyone's passage. One of them will have to stay behind. The decision is difficult, and Nora is to be left with a family friend, a kind doll maker who offers to care for her until they can earn enough money to pay for her journey. Nora's mother is beside herself, heartbroken about leaving her youngest--yet the devoted doll maker shows that good friends are priceless and that all obstacles can be overcome when there is a true desire to help another." -- Publisher
