When her cousin Ana’s family needs money to leave Russia, Rebecca puts on a sidewalk show, but all she earns is a scolding. Once Ana arrives in New York, Rebecca shares her room and her clothes and helps her cousin learn English. But when Ana is assigned to sing with her in a school program, Rebecca’s heart sinks. Ana’s Russian accent will ruin the show! Rebecca realizes her performance is one thing she does not want to share with her cousin. But how can she explain that to Ana?
This audiobook includes a historical “Looking Back” section.
This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing a glossary of foreign words heard throughout the story.
Jacqueline Dembar Greene used to read historical novels under an apple tree in her yard when she was a girl. She loved to imagine living in a more exciting time and place. While writing about Rebecca, Ms. Greene talked with friends and relatives who recalled their experiences growing up in the early 1900s. She also explored New York’s Lower East Side and visited the neighborhoods that were part of Rebecca’s world. Ms. Greene lives in Massachusetts with her husband. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys hiking, gardening, and traveling to unusual places.
