Para Jessie no hay sobresaltos; su vida transcurre envuelta en la monotonía de lo diario. Ella no tiene a nadie en este mundo. Bueno, sí, en realidad aún le queda su abuela y una cajita de plata forrada en encaje con el anillo de su madre. Pero toda esa realidad está por cambiar. A lo lejos, allá en América, el hermano del rabino de su pueblo agoniza; este quiere que sea ella quien viaje representándolo hasta Nueva York. El relato aprovechará ese escenario para relatar con intensidad y realismo las vicisitudes de un emigrante. La solitaria travesía de Jessie en un gran buque. El incierto panorama.
