In 1915, Lukia Mazurets, a Ukrainian farmwife, delivers her eighth child while her husband’s in the Tsar’s army. Soon after, she and her children are forced to flee the invading Germans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next fourteen years, Lukia uses her wits and faith to survive life in a refugee camp, a typhus epidemic, the Bolshevik revolution and one daughter’s forbidden love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this family saga, love and loss are bound together by a country always at war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on her grandmother’s life, Diana Stevan captures the voices of those who had little say in a country that is still being fought over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
