Para Jessie no hay sobresaltos; su vida transcurre envuelta en la monotonía de lo diario. Ella no tiene a nadie en este mundo.

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. La solidaridad entre los pasajeros. La Vida premiando, finalmente, el tesón y la fe. La historia se acompaña, además, de hermosas ilustraciones.
