"In the fall of 1918, thirteen-year-old German immigrant Pia is left to tend to her infant twin brothers after her father enlists in the Army. Since her baby died days ago, Bernice Groves has been lost in grief and bitterness. Bernice plans to transform the city's orphans and immigrant children into what she feels are "true Americans."
