Wide-eyed, Rozalia accepted the letters, gazing curiously at the firm, upright script that had written her own name on the first envelope: Rozalia Bartkowska. "Thank you," she murmured. Her parents, by unspoken consent, rose from the table. "I'd better see that the hencoop is latched," said her father. "I'll come and show you where the roof is leaking," her mother volunteered quickly. Alone in the quiet, Rozalia opened the first envelope with trembling fingers. "Panna Rozalia, It seems very strange to me to be addressing this letter to you at last, but in truth, your aunt and uncle have spoken so often about you, I almost feel that I must have met you somehow..." Set in 19th century America, this tale of immigrant life and pioneer grit is meticulously researched and will charm any history lover
