       verso. 
520    "New York, November 3, 1954. In a few days, the 
       immigration inspection station on Ellis Island will close 
       its doors forever. John Mitchell, an officer of the Bureau
       of Immigration, is the guardian and last resident of the 
       island. As Mitchell looks back over forty-five years as 
       gatekeeper to America and its promise of a better life, he
       recalls his brief marriage to his beloved wife Liz, and is
       haunted by memories of a transgression involving Nella, an
       immigrant from Sardinia. Told is a series of poignant 
       diary entries, this is a story of responsibility, love, 
       fidelity, and remorse."--Back cover.
