Warm your hearts and excite your minds by meeting the Rusyn author
Luba Czerhoniak Fedash as she discusses her book, Blossoms on a
Rooftop. The publisher writes, " Luba was born shortly before the
beginning of World War II in the region of the Carpathian Mountains
known as Lemkovyna, now part of Poland. Blossoms on a Rooftop is
the exciting story of her early life, first as a child forced to grow up
much too fast by the horrors of Nazi occupation, then as a young girl
caught up in the forced resettlement of thousands during Poland's
1947 Operation Vistula (Akcja Wisla), and finally as an immigrant teen
trying to make a new life for herself in the U.S. Luba's determination
and her love of God and Nature saw her through to ultimate triumph
over adversary and a happy life in her adopted country."
