About

Dominic Cantori is ashamed that he is an orphan, afraid to expose his terrible secret. But one day, accidentally locked in a deserted museum on Ellis Island, the voice of an old Italian immigrant speaks to him from a display, transporting him to Italy in 1908, where he will unlock the secrets of his past.

"Woodruff's well-researched novel beautifully describes the similarities between an orphan's and an immigrant's search for a home."
ALAN Review
"Easy to read and hard to put down, this convincing novel gives a poignant and believable picture of the lives and motivations of some of this country's immigrants, and of one boy who learns about himself…An enjoyable and informative tale."
