The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street
by Susan Jane Gilman

"We'd been in America just three months when the horse ran over me."
Well that's an intriguing first line! Later (on the same page, no spoilers) we find out the horse did cripple her, and it was pulling an ice cart, which she found was ironic given how things turned out for her (the titular Ice Cream Queen.)

LOVE the title and the cover.
Sounds sad about being run over by an ice cart.
I hope it is good read for you.
