    About this ebook

    The Little Immigrant begins with the youngest daughter of a German mother who stubbornly and tearfully refuses to go to America. At her three sisters' incessant teasing and bullying, condemning her as the family baby, Renestine relents, setting her off on the adventure of a lifetime. Excerpt: "SEATED at her work table in her sitting room, Mrs. Bilter was putting the last stitches in a white Swiss dress that Renestine was to wear that night to a ball. The puff sleeve close to the shoulder was the last of the dainty dress to be put on. Mrs. Bilter took eager pleasure in dressing her pretty sister in the daintiest of gowns. When she looked up she saw her husband coming through the gate for his noon dinner. She put down her sewing and moved to meet him on the porch. "Well, dear, how are you getting on with the ball dress?"
