About this listen

This gripping, accessible novel by celebrated Ukrainian Canadian author Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch follows two sisters as they struggle to survive the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

12-year-old twin sisters Rada and Dariia Popkova couldn't be more different. Dariia is outgoing and chatty while Rada is a quieter and artsy. But what they have in common is their love for each other and their home. The family lives in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which is attacked by the Russians on Feb 24th, 2022.

The attack separates the family—Dariia is with her mom and Rada with her dad. Dariia and her mother are then separated by Russian officials and Dariia is sent to live with a Russian family. As the war rages around them, the sisters and their family must overcome unimaginable hardships. But they will learn how powerful hope is in the face of disaster.

A story that youth and adults will find both timely and timeless. It’s about a Ukrainian girl experiencing harrowing events of the beginning and first months of the brutal Russian invasion of Mariupol, and then trying to navigate her way into freedom after being stolen into Russia. The voice of the narrator, Anna Fikhman, is masterfully immerses you into the events. The fear and resolve of the girl, the coldness and bossiness of the Russian re-education « teacher », and the voices of other characters, make you feel like you are inside the story and to follow its progression with bated breath. Bravo to everyone who worked on this very important book. 💙💛

A searing story of war horrors, compassion, and resolve
