Eleven-year-old Samuel can barely contain his excitement to sail with his family from South Africa to live in the United States--then he contracts typhoid fever.
World War I has broken out. Samuel's parents have sold their business, their home--everything--to purchase transportation on a freighter to the USA. Now their boy is in the hospital; and even if he lives, no ship will let him aboard for several weeks. Meanwhile, Atlantic travel by boat may not be possible for long.
Experience this family's heart-wrenching choice and its consequences through the eyes of the child who braved it.
