As she navigates the challenges of her new life, including the struggles of family and the excitement of her new surroundings, Hannah discovers a magical castle hidden among the bustling streets of Hester Street. This castle becomes a symbol of hope and dreams, representing her aspirations and the rich tapestry of immigrant life.
