"From Amazon bestseller and Ben Franklin Award winner Joyana Peters, author of The Girl in the Triangle, comes a story of loss and sacrifice -- and ultimately, of survival.
Russia, 1905: Thirteen-year-old Ruth dreams of growing up to marry the boy next door and living peacefully ever after. But when he and her father are forced to flee to America after the Bloody Sunday Massacre, Ruth and the other female members of the family are left behind amid the violence and chaos of revolutionary Russia. Overcoming violence and hunger with a strength she never knew she possessed, Ruth resolves to do what it takes to keep her mother and sister alive—whether it be work, beg or steal.
Then she lands herself in a predicament that threatens to put her own neck in a noose. This time she may not be able to keep them all safe, at least not without sacrificing their love for her and all that makes life worth living.
In this prequel to the multi-award-winning novel, The Girl in the Triangle, author, Joyana Peters, portrays a tight-knit family fighting to endure at a precarious and crucial time in Jewish history. Join the countless readers who can’t get enough of Ruth and her story."

IBPA Ben Franklin Award Winner- 'Like Radium Girls and other books detailing how many died before safe labor practices were adopted, this book is a strong addition to historical fiction of this type. Girl In The Triangle presents the reader with a lot to think about: how do we decide about the right attitudes toward gender disputes? How do we 'become' Americans? How do we keep traditions alive? All these questions make Girl In The Triangle an excellent historical fiction novel and choice for book groups.' - IBPA Feedback

'That is what historical fiction does for a reader, a slice of history wrapped up in a compelling story that teaches and makes us reflect on the words and our own lives in the stream of time.' - Historical Fiction Press Awards"
"Join the journey into one of the most captivating and seminal events in all of American history. The United States in 1865 was a dramatically different country from the one that went to the polls in 1860. It and the world were transformed by the Civil War – a political struggle between sections of the country for a Union without slavery or slavery without a Union. “We Are All Americans” is the story of how the United States was transformed through the words of the three most central figures of the time – Jefferson Davis, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln – and narrated by three reporters in a contemporary newsroom setting who describe the events as they unfolded, in time linear fashion. It is often said the country entered the war as the United States, plural, and emerged a nation, as the United States, singular. Let “We Are All Americans” take you back 150 years to experience this dramatic and profound transformation as it happened."
