Women's Fiction
At the turn of the twentieth century, five thousand people a
day arrived at New York’s Ellis Island, their journeys to
America signifying a new beginning. But the ocean crossing
also has a deeper symbolic meaning: there comes a time for
us all when we find ourselves afloat, between phases of our
lives, where we say goodbye to our past and move on to new
horizons. For Valentina Meyer, harboring a deep secret of tremendous
guilt and pain drives her to board a trans-Atlantic voyage
as a stowaway, searching desperately for a new life on a
distant shore. Accompanying her is a varied cast of
eccentric and unique individuals, each in search of a new
and better life. Finding solace—even love—in the
companionship of their fellow guests, their arrival in
America puts an abrupt end to their camaraderie as
Valentina’s future is immediately put in jeopardy. A
probing, affecting exploration of the hidden corners of the
human heart, She Wore Only White is literature at its finest.
