Svetlana Kim was just twenty-three years old when she left Leningrad Russia for New York City. During a chance encounter in a bread line a former schoolmate offered her a plane ticket from the black market to America. With only a dollar in her pocket and no knowledge of the English language Kim left her family and friends for a new life just as her great-grandparents had left Korea for Russia nearly a century before.
