When Mike Bennek's ailing grandfather asks him to take time off
from work for a research holiday to the Ukraine, Mike eagerly
accepts. He looks forward to connecting with his family's past;
along with his brothers and a few friends, he embarks on the
vacation of a lifetime.
From the moment they arrive, the group becomes enchanted with
the different culture surrounding them. Exotic new foods,
architectural wonders, and the language itself wrap them in the
past. But Mike also realizes that, while the Ukrainian people have
not forgotten their troubled past, today they are still being
haunted by a harmful Russian influence. It is one more narrative he
must add to his grandfather's story.
Mike finds his grandfather's birthplace with the help of the
beautiful, strong-willed Natasha. He hears stories from long ago
and learns more about his family and their culture than either he
or his grandfather thought possible. From traditional Easter eggs
and the peasants' disdain for the aristocracy to a benevolent
nobleman who played a major role in his family's life, Mike comes
to appreciate his grandfather-and his history-more than ever
before.
With colorful details of the Ukraine and a dash of romance, "Old
Country Surprises" speaks to the importance of family and the bonds
of loyalty.
