My Life with Rachel

June 29, 1921. Ariel Archer and Rachel Selinger, two "sisters," arrive on Ellis Island from Europe... beginning new lives in America. Finding that they must keep the true nature of their relationship (and indeed other aspects of their actual identities) a secret, they embark on a journey of discovery in a new home... New York. A place they call home for the next 9 years.
My Life with Rachel, told in the first person through Ariel's point of view, is a story about confronting the harsh realities of the American Dream, about the role of fate, chance, and choices as part of the Human condition, about living amidst the changes of progress but also trying to cope with things that hold us back, and ultimately about the power of friendship, companionship, and love... especially when that's all you have left and you have to start over again.
Step back a century into the Roaring Twenties. Prepare for some history, some drama, a bit of romance... and a few surprises!
