The True Story Of Emmett Long, An American Original

A Modernized Story of Moses and the Ten Plagues Come to Life through a

Children’s Play-turned-Book

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, April 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — What happens when a little-educated peasant girl is chosen in 1903 to leave her family in Bohemia and guide her illiterate godfather across the Atlantic Ocean to the midlands of America? Once fourteen-year-old Anna Mrkvicka works her way to Iowa, she is without blood

relatives for protection; she cannot speak English to find a way to escape a physically abusive step- aunt on an isolated farmstead; for three frightening years she is neither paid nor allowed enough

to eat. How does she survive and fulfill her impoverished mother’s wish that somehow she finds a way to bring her large family to her? Through Different Eyes reveals how Anna eventually overcomes overwhelming challenges. Hers is a tale that mirrors that of the heroic journeys of millions of unsung immigrants throughout history. This creative biography describes in detail her perilous steerage ocean trip, her fright on Ellis Island, her sleeping on tenement rooftops in the Lower East Side of New York City, and her discouragement during exhausting farm work in Iowa.
It reveals how her grit and determination grow to prevail over daunting hardships, and how she succeeds in her race to bring her family to her before World War I engulfs Europe. This is about the book authored by Asa Dunnington titled, Selectively Lawless: The True Story of Emmett Long, an American Original.

“… Through Different Eyes weaves a complex history with a loving, gutsy, sometimes humorous, always grippingly real look at the early 20th century American immigrant experience. A pleasurable mix of a young woman’s determination, spiritualism, and ability to meet significant life challenges; this book belongs in every family’s library somewhere near Louisa May Alcott and Willa Cather. It is one of only a few books that I relish rereading,” says Patricia Johnson, an
Amazon customer.
