    About this ebook

    Danger, adventure, love and war were words little Malke Sherman never dreamed that she would experience. As a young girl in Russia, Malke Sherman learned the hardships of life. She experienced loss, despair, and even bigotry. In that short time living in Russia, she endured more suffering than many do in an entire lifetime. Then she got the chance to come to America, to leave all the suffering behind along with her name. Molly now began a life in America, the land of opportunity. However, the circumstances were not much better in Newark, NJ as they were in Russia. Her family suffered many of the perils that all immigrants of the early 1900's suffered. Molly’s story isn’t all bad though, her uplifting attitude along with her perseverance allowed her to conquer all of the challenges that she faced.
