To the Copper Country

A young Croatian girl travels to America hoping to heal her father in 1880s northern Michigan. To the Copper Country: Mihaela's Journey is based on the family history of author Barbara Carney-Coston. Her ancestors made the voyage from Croatia to Michigan in the late nineteenth century, in search of a new life and better opportunities.

In 1886, Mihaela, in varsta de unsprezece ani, incepe o calatorie din Croatia spre Peninsula Keweenaw, cunoscuta si sub numele de Tara de Cupru a Michiganului. Tatal Mihaelei facuse calatoria cu doi ani inainte pentru a lucra in minele de cupru, astfel incat sa poata trimite bani inapoi acasa, dar o boala dureroasa a ochilor l-a lasat vulnerabil intr-un nou pamant si are nevoie de abilitatile sotiei sale, un vindecator expert.
