A Teygl in His Pocket - Carla J. Silver

It is 1906 and Moshe is a young baker in a small shtetl in Romania. When the tailor's daughter leaves for America, he decides to follow her. Little does he know she has not gone to America, but to Canada instead. He has no money, no prospects, nothing but a little piece of dough wrapped in a handkerchief in his pocket.
