Description
Nyl is just trying to stay alive. Ever since the Soviet dictator, Stalin, started to take control of the farms in Ukraine like the one Nyl's family lives on, there is less and less food to go around. On top of bad harvests and a harsh winter, conditions worsen until it's clear the lack of food is not just chance . . . but a murderous plan leading all the way to Stalin.

Alice has recently arrived from Canada with her father, who is here to work for the Soviets . . . until they realize that the people suffering the most are all ethnically Ukrainian like Nyl. Something is very wrong, and Alice is determined to help.
Desperate, Nyl and Alice come up with an audacious plan that could save both of them, and their community. But can they survive long enough to succeed?
Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch brings to vivid life the Holodomor, or death by starvation, Ukraine's famine-genocide of the 1930s. Tragically timely and resonant, this is a story about unity, perseverance, and the irrepressible hunger to survive.
