Resumen del Editor

Ellis Island, 1902: Two women band together to hold America to its promise: "Give me your tired, your poor...."

Ellis Island, 1902. Francesca arrives on the shores of America, her sights set on a better life than the one she left in Italy. That same day, aspiring linguist Alma reports to her first day of work at the immigrant processing center. Ellis, though, is not the refuge it first appears thanks to President Roosevelt's attempts to deter crime. Francesca and Alma will have to rely on each other to escape its corruption and claim the American dreams they were promised.

A thoughtful historical inspired by true events, this novel probes America's history of prejudice and exclusion - when entry at Ellis Island promised a better life but often delivered something drastically different, immigrants needed strength, resilience, and friendship to fight for their futures.

Emotional

In The Last Ship Home by Heather Webb the reader is transported back to 1902 on Ellis Island. Webb has so gracefully put in words so that one can imagine themselves among the immigrants and moving along the streets and subways of New York City. The reader will follow the lives of Francesca and Alma, you'll see how their friendship blossoms as they encounter sexual harassment, death and rape and of course the read is also heartwarming. The reader will enjoy the message that every story has more than one side. We can base our own life experiences with these two ladies. We all worry about how we are received by others. Most importantly it is that life isn't always black and white.

One of the best books ever. Maybe it is because my love of history, but the characters and descriptions were so mesmerizing!

Nice to read about Ellis Island

This book was on a topic I have not read about before. The immigrant experience in the early 1900’s was fascinating.

The Ellis Island story

It saddens me that this is most likely true accounts rolled into a book but the story was beautifully told. Don’t like it wrapping up quickly in the end but books must end somehow.

Boundary Spanners

Educators have a term for students who venture beyond normal expectations, standard interests. and easy targets. Webb's characters are all boundary spanners, taking on new roles and venturing into new territories. This creates an inspiring combination of themes and voices.
