The piece is located in a small plaza on First St in downtown. ?The plaque reads: "This work is offered in tribute to the thousands of familes, who have come from all over the world to setle in Napa Valley, who have brought with them skills courage and dreams, which have helped fullfill the promises of their new homeland.
Symbolizing the strength and unity of the family, the immigrants with optimism seek to build new lives in a new land. Each figure looks toward the future with the exception of the mother, whose glance back represents ties to the past not easily broken. Her optimism lies in the new life she carries within her. New life with new hope."
