Book Talk: Stitching a Life

Watch a free virtual book talk with Mary Helen Fein, author of Stitching A Life: An Immigration Story.

In 1900, Helen flees persecution in Lithuania and travels by steerage to the Lower East Side. Her story is familiar, quickly finding a job in the thriving garment district while devoting her time and money to send home to bring the rest of her family to safety in New York. As each family member arrives, they throw themselves into the same working fervor as Helen for the same cause: a new home in a new country. Helen eventually finds a different kind of New York, with love.
