Synopsis

Mimi left Sweden in 1911 to start a new life working as an indentured servant for a well-to-do family in America. She was determined to bring her six younger brothers and sisters over one by one as soon as she could save enough money, but her plans did not get off to a good start when, unable to speak English, she ended up in the wrong city and had to depend on the help of kindly people she met there. In Brooklyn, another young Swedish American family was starting out under different circumstances. The two families' destinies become entwined against the historical background of the early 20th century, the time of Prohibition, the global Spanish Flu pandemic, the Great Depression, WWI and growing fears of another war in Europe.
