"A House of Tailors" by Patricia Reilly Giff tells the story of a young girl named Clara, who emigrates from Germany to New York City in the early 1900s. Clara dreams of becoming a seamstress like her parents, who run a tailoring shop. However, as she navigates the challenges of a new culture, language barriers, and family expectations, she struggles to find her place. Through her journey, Clara learns about resilience, the value of family, and the importance of following her own dreams. Ultimately, she discovers what it means to create a home in a new world.
