As Russia reels from the violence of Bloody Sunday in 1905, Anna Fedorcenko struggles to hold her family together after the tragic death of her husband, Sergei. Her youngest son, Andrei, becomes determined to avenge his father by joining the revolutionary movement, while his older brother, Yuri, finds himself drawn toward the aristocratic world that Andrei despises. Their growing political differences, complicated relationships, and conflicting loyalties threaten to divide a family already burdened by grief. As Russia moves toward World War I and the upheaval of the Bolshevik Revolution, Anna and her children must confront the cost of their convictions and discover whether faith and family can endure amid national turmoil. Rich in Russian history, emotional conflict, and questions of faith and loyalty, this sweeping Christian historical novel is ideal for readers who enjoy multigenerational family sagas, revolutionary history, and characters tested by extraordinary circumstances.
