Rifka's family's journey is in pursuit of their American dream. They, like most immigrants, come to America with nothing but a dream. They struggle to establish themselves in a new culture and many, like Rifka, get homesick. Immigrants, like Rifka, want the dream of a house of their own and the ability to support their families.
