Hundreds of thousands of orphans have been left homeless and abandoned
as a result of the fall of the Communist era. Left to fend for themselves
or locked up in state orphanages, the children have little hope
for the future. Yet in the middle of suicide, alcoholism, and drug
abuse, hope emerges. David Valensky, a successful US businessman
who has experienced terrible personal loss, pours his life into
reaching the homeless teens on the streets of Perm, Russia. But
as the ministry grows, tragedy unfolds, threatening its very existence.
Karina Svetlana, a morose orphanage director with a dark past,
meets David during his orphanage outreach. Will David be able to
reach her with the Gospel and break the chains that hold her captive?
And will their fledging love survive the storm that envelopes David's
ministry?
Jared and Vanessa Williams travel to Russia to adopt a child, excited
to bring home a new son. Can they cope with what they find in Russia
and the devastating news that leaves their faith shattered?
Based on the author's personal experience in Russia, this novel
will not only captivate and intrigue, but change your heart.
