"A Jewish family, the Zlotniks, emigrates to America, following the success of their eldest son in the new country. Here, as in Poland, Surè, the mother, finds she must fight against poverty, and works herself to death. Dvoyreie, the eldest daughter, gives her love and encouragement to a despondent young sculptor until he achieves success: then she returns to her own family to care for the younger brothers and sisters, left motherless." -- Book Review Digest, 1930.
