Discover the 1880's tale of Anna Anderson, a child living in Sweden with her mother and her sister, Ida. Though happy, the family is poor. Unable to afford passage herself, Anna's mother puts the girls on a boat to the United States, hoping they will have a better life without her.
Because Ida has work in Idaho, the sisters separate and young Anna continues by train to meet an aunt in another state. Little Anna arrives alone in a near-empty train station late at night--but her aunt is not there--she never got the letter telling of Anna's arrival.
Unable to ask for help in English, Anna prays that God will send someone to help her--someone who speaks Swedish. The answer to Anna's prayer goes beyond what she would have imagined.
Tapping into the most powerful interest on the planet--the hunger to know who we are and where we come from.... Greatest story...for young and old. - Jeff Gallup, TV producer
