Three Dreamers is a memoir by the acclaimed author and journalist Ruth Reichl. The book tells the story of her family's journey from Austria to New York City, and the challenges and successes they faced along the way.

Reichl's grandparents were Jewish immigrants who fled Austria in the early 1900s. They settled in New York City, where they raised their family. Reichl's father, Ernst, was a successful businessman. Her mother, Miriam, was a talented pianist. Reichl and her younger sister, Miriam, were born and raised in New York City.

Three Dreamers is a moving and inspiring story of a family's journey to America. Reichl writes with honesty and humor about her family's struggles and triumphs. She paints a vivid portrait of her grandparents, parents, and sister, and she captures the essence of the American Dream.

The Journey to America

Reichl's grandparents left Austria in 1905, after the pogroms that followed the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. They settled in New York City, where they worked hard to build a new life for themselves.

Reichl's grandfather, Samuel, was a tailor. He worked long hours, but he was always able to provide for his family. Reichl's grandmother, Bertha, was a homemaker. She raised her children and kept the house clean. She also found time to volunteer in the community.

Reichl's parents met in New York City. Her father, Ernst, was a successful businessman. Her mother, Miriam, was a talented pianist. They married in 1932, and they had two daughters, Ruth and Miriam.

The American Dream

The American Dream is the belief that anyone can achieve success in America if they work hard enough. Reichl's family is a testament to the American Dream. They came to America with nothing, but they worked hard and built a successful life for themselves.

Reichl's father was a successful businessman. He owned a furniture store in New York City. He worked long hours, but he was always able to provide for his family. Reichl's mother was a talented pianist. She taught piano lessons and performed in concerts.

Reichl and her sister both went to college. Reichl graduated from Barnard College, and she went on to become a successful author and journalist. Miriam graduated from Radcliffe College, and she went on to become a successful businesswoman.

Three Dreamers is a must-read for anyone interested in immigration, family, or the American Dream.
