Produktbeschreibung
Author Diana Stevan's sequel to the award-winning Sunflowers Under Fire. Lukia's story continues in Lilacs in the Dust Bowl, an inspirational family saga about love and heartache during the Great Depression. In 1929, when Lukia Mazurets, a widow and a Ukrainian peasant farmer, immigrates to Canada with her four children, she has no idea the stock market is about to crash and throw the world into a deep depression. Falling grain prices, the ravages of nature, and unexpected family conflicts threaten to smash her dreams of family unity in a strange land. And when love knocks on her door again, awakening desire she thought was long gone, Lukia has to choose between having a man in her life or the children she's sacrificed everything for. A former family therapist, Diana Stevan is the mother of two daughters and lives with her husband Robert in West Vancouver and on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Autorenporträt
Diana Stevan likes to joke she's a Jill of all trades as she's worked as a family therapist, teacher, librarian, model, actress and sports reporter for CBC television. With writing her passion, she's published newspaper articles, poetry; a short story, and a novelette, The Blue Nightgown, a coming-of-age story set in the 1950s. Her novels cross genres: A Cry from the Deep, a time-slip romantic mystery/adventure; The Rubber Fence, women's fiction, inspired by her work on a psychiatric ward in the 1970s, and Sunflowers Under Fire, historical fiction / family saga, based on her Ukrainian grandmother's life during WWI and the wars that followed in Russia. This last novel was a finalist for the 2019 Whistler Independent Book Awards, sponsored by the Writers Union of Canada, a semi-finalist for the 2019 Kindle Book Awards, Literary Fiction category, and Honorable Mention in 2020 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards. When she isn't writing, she loves to garden, travel, and read. With their two daughters grown, Diana lives with her husband Robert on Vancouver Island and West Vancouver, British Columbia.
