520 In the fall of 1918, thirteen-year-old German immigrant
Pia Lange longs to be far from Philadelphia's overcrowded
streets and slums, and from the anti-German sentiment that
compelled her father to enlist in the U.S. Army, hoping to
prove his loyalty. But an even more urgent threat has
arrived. Spanish influenza is spreading through the city.
Soon, dead and dying are everywhere. With no food at home,
Pia must venture out in search of supplies, leaving her
infant twin brothers alone ... Since her baby died days
ago, Bernice Groves has been lost in grief and bitterness.
If doctors hadn't been so busy tending to hordes of
immigrants, perhaps they could have saved her son. When
Bernice sees Pia leaving her tenement across the way, she
is buoyed by a shocking, life-altering decision that leads
her on a sinister mission: to transform the city's orphans
and immigrant children into what she feels are 'true
Americans.' As Pia navigates the city's somber
neighborhoods, she cannot know that her brothers won't be
home when she returns. And it will be a long and arduous
journey to learn what happened'even as Bernice plots to
keep the truth hidden at any cost. Only with persistence,
and the courage to face her own shame and fear, will Pia
put the pieces together and find the strength to risk
everything to see justice at last.
