author of The Memory Keeper of Kyiv, based on her family's
heart-wrenching escape from war-torn Europe.A story of the strength
of the human spirit, the personal cost of conflict and how love can
be found even in the darkest times. Summer 1941. War rages in
Europe. The Germans march towards Ukraine. Halya, Liliya and Vika
are no strangers to sorrow. They lost family during the Holodomor,
loved ones in Stalin's purges, and war looms once more on the
horizon. Vika lives in fear for her children. She and her sister
survived the terror famine by leaving their whole family behind.
Now, years later, many believe the Germans will free them from the
Soviets, but she’s not so sure. Should they stay in Volhynia or
flee the approaching Eastern front? Liliya has lost too much in her
17 years. As those around her join the resistance, Liliya wonders
how she can fight for her friends, family, and country. When the
choice is made for her, can she find the will to survive and
protect those still with her? Twelve-year-old Halya is struggling
to discover who she is. But as the war escalates, can her mother
Katya’s tactics keep her safe from the Nazi soldiers rounding up
slave laborers? How can a child survive the horrors of war on her
own? These daughters of Ukraine will face devastation and loss as
they fight to survive and protect the ones they love. A gripping
