| An
impossible journey? Perhaps. But for Marya and Georgi it's
one they feel they must take. The year is 1934 and the new Stalin
government has arrested their parents as enemies of the state. The
Russian government doesn't need a reason to arrest anyone. They need
no proof of wrong doing. They just arrest anyone who may be against
the new government. Now the two children are left to fend for themselves.
But what will become of them? They have no money and no where to
go. The neighbors who took them in at first and now planning to send
them to an orphanage. But Marya has an idea. A wildly impossible
idea. Maybe they can make it work. If only the impossible can
happen. |
