Inspirándose en la historia que el mundo olvidó y que el Gobierno ruso niega, Erin Litteken relata la crisis de una hambruna provocada por el hombre que, en Ucrania, robó casi cuatro millones de vidas. Es 1929 y Katya tiene dieciséis años, está rodeada de su familia y enamorada de su amigo de la infancia. Cuando los activistas de Stalin empiezan a llegar a Ucrania defendiendo la grandeza de la agricultura colectiva, son solo unos pocos. Pero pronto los vecinos empiezan a desaparecer; los que hablan nunca vuelven. A partir de entonces, cada nuevo día se convierte un futuro incierto. La resistencia tiene un precio y, mientras la desesperación y el hambre se apoderan del campo, la supervivencia parece más un sueño que una posibilidad? Pero, incluso en los momentos más oscuros, el amor prevalece.
Drawing inspiration from the story the world forgot and the Russian government denies, Erin Littleken recounts the crisis of a man-made famine in Ukraine that claimed nearly four million lives. It is 1929 and Katya is sixteen years old, she is surrounded by her family and in love with her childhood friend of hers. When Stalin's activists start pouring into the Ukraine arguing for the greatness of collective farming, they are only a few. But soon the neighbors begin to disappear; those who speak never come back. Thereafter, each new day becomes an uncertain future. Endurance comes at a price, and as despair and hunger grip the countryside, survival seems more like a dream than a possibility But even in the darkest of times, love prevails.
