Parcels of Change

Embark on a poignant journey with 16-year old Lena Trautmann, a young German immigrant who leaves her serene but impoverished village to seek a new beginning in bustling New York City.

Set in 1890, Parcels of Change captures Lena's courageous voyage across the Atlantic, her struggles with the harsh realities of immigrant life, and her relentless pursuit of the American dream.

As Lena navigates through the trials of adapting to a new world, she encounters a cast of compelling characters, each with their own agenda. Some are stories of sacrifice, loss, resilience and hope while others have found less savory ways to survive.

This historical fiction novel beautifully intertwines fear of change with the enduring power of family and heritage, making it a must-read for anyone who cherishes a deeply moving tale of the cost and triumph of personal transformation.
