Features: This is the soul history of a Jewish family that immigrated to the United States. The author opens the black box of the dark corners of the heart, where emotions, eroded by the years but never faded, sweep in like the fog of the East Side streets of New York at night. In the early 20th century, 19-year-old Meyer Nadelman came to the United States with the American Dream from Russia. But the land of dreams did not open its arms to welcome him. Setbacks, failures, illness, and unexpected blows followed one after another, seemingly endless. Lost in America is Nuland's heart-wrenching yet moving record of his father's life, and it also reveals the indelible scars on the author's heart. Nuland struggled through hardships to leave his Jewish family at the bottom of society and finally climbed to the dazzling peak of the American Dream. However, the inescapable ties of family and Jewish culture constantly tortured his soul, causing conflict and pain. He tried to face the unavoidable bond between father and son, accept the heavy burden left by his father, but in doing so, he paid a great price.
