[Rachel's Hope] does a good job of illustrating many facets and challenges of immigrant life, including assimilation, work, self-fulfillment, and sense of home.-- "Booklist"
(A) fine and absorbing trilogy.-- "Hadassah Magazine"
Rachel's journey as an immigrant from Russia, through Shanghai, and then to the streets of San Francisco is a compelling one... A well-researched and exciting novel that will introduce readers to immigrant life in the early 1900s.-- "Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews"
Readers who love historical fiction will enjoy exploring Sanders' San Francisco as Rachel and her family learn their way around and begin to make a life.-- "Jewish Book World"
"...Shelly Sanders delivers an exciting plot, an ambitious historical context, and engaging, complex characters... Sanders has her finger on the zeitgeist of this era."-- "CM Magazine"
"...Sanders ably combines historical fact with a gripping fictional story, knitting together the grim realities of pre-revolutionary Russia and the plight of Russian Jews with the hopes and dreams of a young girl building her life. Through Rachel and Sergei's eyes, readers are given a candid glimpse into both the immigrant experience in early America and life inside tsarist Russia, which is teetering on the brink of revolution. ... a must-read for fans of historical fiction."--Tracey Schindler "Canadian Children's Book News"
