This memoir follows the true story of an emigre Russian family. Originally from White Russia, the family left its home for China in search of a better life. It endured a difficult time under Japanese occupation and then life under Soviet rule following liberation by the Soviet Army. Years later the family migrated to Australia and integrated into Australian life, where work was punctuated by full society as well as an intense cultural commitment. Her family and spiritual life is fully explored in this book.

Translated from the Russian.
