New updated edition of the winner of the 1995 Taras Shevchenko award
Silver Threads is the magical story of Anna and Ivan, two young
newly-weds who escape poverty and hardship in Ukraine to start a new
life on the Canadian frontier. As they struggle to build their
homestead, World War I breaks out. When Ivan volunteers to fight for his
new homeland, tragedy strikes. While Anna works and waits alone, hope
comes from an unexpected source.
Based on true events, (see Internment of Ukrainians in Canada 1914-1920)
Silver Threads is a stirring lesson in history and a heart-warming
tale of love and faith.
