This heartwarming, beautifully written middle-grade historicalnovel about an untold American frontier story is destined to be a cherished classic.Īfter fleeing persecution in the Russian Empire, eleven-year-old Shoshana and her family, Jewish immigrants, start a new life on the prairie. Only by listening to the music that’s lived in her heart all along can Shoshana embrace the differences that allow her family to thrive and grow together in their new home. But when she is bullied for being Jewish, Shoshana starts to feel like it might be easier to hide her faith, even in America. Shoshana loves the wild freedom of the prairie, and, at first, loves school, making friends, and learning English. Eleven-year-old Shoshana and her family flee from Russian pogroms to North Dakota, where land is available to those who are willing to farm it-even Jews.
