"Paula
Rose Michelson's novel, 'No Other Choice: The Naomi Chronicles' is simply
fascinating as you read about Naomi's world. This fifteen-year old Jewish girl 'knew she was in trouble the moment that the immigration official told her he
was taking her to Ellis Island.' I could feel the waves hitting the ship as
Naomi closed her eyes, as she thought back to the day that the old woman died,
and Naomi could still hear herself scream, "Abuela Sosa, please do not be
dead."
As
I read the pages of ‘No Other Choice’, I felt like I was there, too. In the
boat, 'Naomi kept still, not even opening her eyes to look at the Statue of
Liberty, as her thoughts traveled back to the moment she sobbed and sobbed as
she tried to shake the old woman awake, while the old woman's daughter-in-law
was packing Naomi's suitcase, the young girl screamed, "I gave you a year
of my life because you promised you'd help me enter America and search for my
uncle.'”
This
author has a knack for the written word and makes you feel like you're in the
scene, taking every step they're taking, even to the point of hearing the click
of the suitcase as the daughter-in-law rushed the young girl away!
When
the old boat docked, Naomi opened her eyes as a man grabbed her arm and hurried
her into a building down a dark corridor. The immigration office shuts down at
5 pm, the workers were in a hurry to get home and they did not know what to do
with Naomi. An elderly lady named Tia handcuffs Naomi to her arm and takes her
to live at her `casa' to work for her the next five years.
Did Naomi stay?

messages within the pages, a beautiful read! Great job, Author Paula Rose
Michelson! God certainly loves us all!" http://amzn.to/1tN7hEp
