Sunflowers Under Fire: Lukia's Family Saga (Lukia's Family Saga Series) - 9781988180199

In this family saga, love and loss are bound together by a country always at war. Finalist for the 2019 Whistler Independent Book Awards, and semi-finalist for the 2019 Kindle Book Awards. Lukia Mazurets, a Ukrainian farmwife, delivers her eighth child while her husband is serving in the Tsar's army. Soon after, she and her children are forced to flee the invading Germans. Over the next fourteen years, Lukia must rely on her wits and faith to survive life in a refugee camp, the ravages of a typhus epidemic, the Bolshevik revolution, unimaginable losses, and one daughter's forbidden love. Sunflowers Under Fire is a heartbreakingly intimate novel that illuminates the strength of the human spirit, as shown by its courageous and inspirational heroine. Based on the true stories of her grandmother's ordeals, author Diana Stevan captures the voices of those who had little say in a country that is still being fought over. Readers who've enjoyed The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah have bought this book.
