Independence Avenue

Elias, a fourteen-year-old Russian immigrant, arrives alone in Kansas City in 1907, finding new employment and friends but also receiving bad news about his family back in Russia. Elias must call upon all his resources and learn to modify at least some of his old-world traditions to fit his new environment. Readers will recognize that while the circumstances are very different, many of the same problems apply to any young person growing up in any era or setting.
