Life is never going to be easy for Anna. Born into a world of abject poverty and constant fear, she has one overriding ambition. To leave her native Poland and settle in America. The country of wealth and opportunity. The land where dreams can come true.

Two very different men fall in love with her, and she is faced with the first of the many difficult decisions she will have to make throughout her life. But, destined to be torn forever in love and loyalty, Anna knows that in the end there is only one possible choice.
