511 0  Narrated by Rachel Botchan. 
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.
