Immigrating with her Mennonite family, Tillie braves the open sea, a long train from the shining New York harbor to the rolling plains of Oklahoma, and the strange new world she finds herself in.As her family journeys from the cramped and crowded steerage of a ship to the bustling crowds of Ellis Island, then again to settle in a quiet community that doesn’t understand her way of life, Tillie faces countless challenges: Learning a brand new language.
