Sample Book Insights: #1 The Rykowers, their names eventually Americanized to Hyman, Fannie, and Rachel, had spent each day scanning faces outside the Registry Room doors. They had left their former lives behind, bringing only what they could carry. They feared this would be the closest they would ever get to the promise of the New World.
#2 When Abraham Rickover arrived in America, he was penniless and alone. He spent the next few years saving up enough money to bring his wife and two children to join him. However, on the night before the Finland arrived in New York Harbor, Ruchia gave the purser the last of her money. #3 Abraham Rickover, after the war, started over again. He moved his family to Chicago, and found work as a tailor at a men's clothing manufacturer.
He eventually bought another income-generating apartment building. #4 Rickover's family was poor, and he had to work to help support them. He started working at age nine, and by the time he was in high school, he was working 70 hours a week. He did not have the opportunity to study or read good books.
