"A Passport to America" begins in
October of 1914 and encompasses
a five year journey from Jacques'
home in Switzerland to the Ukraine
and eventually to America.
Jacques' family business was
importing wheat from the Ukraine
and after the death of his father,
Jacques was obliged to travel to
Kiev on business. While in Kiev,
he met Irena, a Georgian girl with
azure blue eyes. Because of his
attraction to her, he extended his
stay in Kiev and that placed him
there at the beginning of the
Russian Revolution. The chaos
forced him to travel many
kilometers and put him in
numerous situations of danger
before he could escape Russia and
immigrate to America.
