Book Description
An eleven year old Siberian child witnesses his father's execution and is forced to flee Russia amid the horrors of the Red Army. Finding exile, he and his family are faced with harsh conditions in Shanghai, China. Two years of hardship pass until the promise of hope in the newly formed Kingdom of Yugoslavia brings the mentorship of a King and a respite from danger. This abruptly ends with Hitler's invasion, and his incarceration in a prison camp. Released from the camp, Evgeny discovers the magic of love along with the political maneuvering of the German Wermacht to create the army of Andrei Vlasov. Saving the lives of teenage recruits becomes the mission of the young couple amidst the chaos prior to liberation. Through it all, the honor and spirit of these special people who risked their own lives for others shine as a beacon for the future of us all.
