In Fiona's Lace, Patricia Polacco shares the immigration story of her great-great-grandmother Fiona and how a timeless family tradition saved their lives and is still honored in their family today.
Trigger warning: This story highlights the journey of an immigrant family to America as domestic servants. With acknowledgment that not everyone came to this country of their own free will or received a welcome similar to what is described in the story, this is the experience of some, and their stories are also worthy of being shared.
