This small book tells the story of a brave and smart young girl who must stay behind in Europe while her family emigrates to New York. Fortunately, there is an agency that looks out for her, finds a home for her, provides treatment for her, and helps her to sail to New York when she has recovered from the ringworm. A touching true story.....
