Description
Dina is so jealous! Her older sister, Katharina, has been invited by her uncle in America to come and live with his family. America seems so exciting and exotic compared to the drudgery of the sewing in her family's tiny shop in Breisach, Germany. And with the war against France going on, Dina is trapped indoors, which of course means more sewing! One day after sneaking across the river to trade patterns with her friend, she is mistaken as a spy and hunted by the German army. With no place to hide her, Mother and Katharina decide to send Dina to America instead. Dina sets off for America, sure that she is done sewing forever. When she arrives, her uncle is shocked by the substitution, and because Dina is not old enough to go into service as a maid, he decides that she must take in sewing to support herself. Tired of sewing, she rebels, but when things get rocky, she sews just to earn enough money to earn her passage back home. Through trials and a little bit of luck, she eventually begins to find her place and possibly even a career in Brooklyn. And maybe, just maybe, it involves sewing. 148 pgs, pb; by Patricia Reilly Giff.
