An immigrant's powerful journey of aspiration and love in early Twentieth Century New York.
Pre World War One, Elsa came to America with her eyes wide open, realizing it was up to her to make a life for herself. Surviving a sweat shop in lower Manhattan, a chance job with a Long Island elite family opens up her world. Invited in up to a point, she unwittingly, albeit precariously, crosses the social divide with her now open heart, which puts all she had worked for in jeopardy.
This moving debut novel by Gregory Erich Phillips won the grand prize in the Chanticleer Reviews international writing competition.
