A Long Road There chronicles the immigrant journey of an independent and free-spirited Magdalena Mok, from Germany, across the Atlantic, to America in the latter half of the 19th century. Inspired by her own great-grandmother's trek, Pickett writes of a poignant, demanding, and inspiring journey so often associated with that chapter in American history. Accompanying Magdalena are a heartwarming and colorful cast of characters, from a rodent stowaway on the SS See Falke to her plucky and determined travel companion Rosa. Magdalena will need her wit, skill, and frugality to find a path west in search of what lies ahead. Whether by ship, wagon, or on foot, readers will appreciate A Long Road There both for its ties to the past and its endearing fictions.
