“...a plot that grabs and holds the reader’s attention.”— Bernice Morgan, author, ‘Random Passage’

Swept up in a whirlwind courtship, Katja and Wasyl begin life anew in a Ukrainian settlement of Western Canada. The dusty Canadian prairies promise hope and independence, but when war breaks out between the old world and the new, their newfound stability is shattered. Rumours of the internment of Ukrainian-Canadians haunt the new settlers. Would the country they love betray them like this? After Wasyl is taken into custody, the closely-knit family hopes to be reunited before all hope is lost.
