Standing alone in the baggage claim of JFK International Airport, 9-year-old Christine anxiously awaited the arrival of her new parents. After the untimely death of her beloved mother and the abandonment by her father, Christine was sent by her grandmother to the United States in the hope of a better future. Little did Christine know that the journey would isolate her from her siblings and the life she had known in Communist Poland for over 13 years.
Growing up in Pennsylvania, Christine survived mistreatment in her childhood with determination and ultimately became a teen mother. Her resilience led her to New York City, where she started over with her daughter, Dana. There, she would begin a remarkable, exciting career at the United Nations.
This is the extraordinary story of a Polish immigrant who overcame unthinkable challenges and embraced the American Dream. Follow Christine as she defies the odds, travels the world, is blessed by the Pope, and finds true love.
