Too often the women of historyhave been silenced, but their stories
have power-to reveal, to teach, and to transform.This is one such
story. In Chicago's Ukrainian Village, Nadya Lysenko has built her
life on a foundation of secrets.When Nadya was sixteen, she snuck
out of her house in Western Ukraine to meet a fortuneteller in the
woods. Ignoring the threat of Nazis and Russians, Nadya was driven
by love and a desire to learn the unknown. She never expected it to
be the last time she would see her family.Years later, Nadya
continues to be haunted by the death of her parents and sisters.
She clings to her traditions and stories from Ukraine, the only
parts of her past that she can share with her family. The myths and
magic of Nadya's childhood are still a part of her reality: house
spirits misplace keys and glasses, dreams unite friends across time
and space, and a fortuneteller's cards predict the future.Her
beloved dead also insist on being heard, through dreams and
whispers in the night. They want the truth to come out. Nadya needs
to face her past and confront the secrets she buried within-THE
SILENCE OF TREES.
