Eleven-year-old Samuel can barely contain his excitement to sail with his family from South Africa to live in the United States-then he contracts typhoid fever.

World War I has broken out. Samuel's parents have sold their business, their home-everything-to purchase transportation on a freighter to the USA. Now their boy is in the hospital; and even if he lives, no ship will let him aboard for several weeks. Meanwhile, Atlantic travel by boat may not be possible for long.

Experience this family's heart-wrenching choice and its consequences through the eyes of the child who braved it.

Explore online SECRETS and see actual photographs of Samuel P. Martin's voyages plus 1,000 words adapted from his autobiography by award-winning author and college media instructor Karl Beckstrand (Horse & Dog Adventures in Early California-don't miss his 60 multiracial books).

Build resilient kids today! This educational children's memoir touches on a powerful hunger-the yearning for a place to call home. #4 in the Young American Immigrants series (odyssey standalones):
