In 1860 Helena Al-Khoury and her parents escape Turkish repression in the Lebanon and make the long journey to Chicago, to start a new life. But soon the struggle for survival in the immigrant slums proves too much, as her father tragically dies of typhoid. Heartbroken, the two shattered women must now face life in an alien land alone, picking up scaps of work where they can in a lonely city.
