Summary: Julie listens as Grandpa spins fantastical tales of flying goats and castles on Hester Street, painting a whimsical picture of their journey from Russia to New York. But Grandma's grounded recollections challenge his stories, revealing a more realistic immigrant experience. As Julie navigates these contrasting narratives, she uncovers the heart of her family's past. What truths lie between Grandpa's imagination and Grandma's reality?
