How she described this building and their new apartment was so like the Tenement Museum House on 97th Orchard Street in New York City! So, as an author, I was able to match up her detailed memories to the pictures in this book:
This historical novel is based on family stories of how Mary Lombrozo escaped tragic, difficult times in Feodosia, Russia, to find her destiny and empowerment in the overcrowded slums of New York City. She faced innumerable fears, hunger, scarcity in housing, the loss of her parents, and the loss of her beshert. This story is in three parts and covers from her birth in 1905 to her wedding day 1926.
