Letters From Rifka by Karen Hesse

A young Jewish girl fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe writes a series of letters that chronicle her journey toward America, the hardships of travel and illness, periods of separation from family, and the kindness of strangers; through her vivid, honest voice the narrative explores resilience, the search for safety and belonging, and the struggle to preserve language and identity amid upheaval.
