Description

The Memory Keeper of Kyiv by Erin Litteken In the 1930s, a devastating famine swept through Ukraine, claiming almost 4 million lives. This is the story of a family's struggle to survive, and the secrets that were kept hidden for decades. Inspired by the history that was forgotten, and the Russian government's denial of it, Erin Litteken reimagines the tragic events of that time. As the Soviet Union's activists march through the countryside, a young girl's life is forever changed. When her village is gripped by desperation and hunger, she must confront the harsh realities of resistance and survival. Seventy years later, a young widow discovers her grandmother's journal, revealing the long-buried secrets of her family's haunted past. This is a story of the resilience of the human spirit, and the true horror of the Holodomor. A share of the book's proceeds will be donated to DEC's Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
