Old Country Surprises

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Mike's journey begins with his grandfather's surprise request--would you go to the old country and find my grandfather's birthplace? Mike's demanding work schedule had no room for a holiday, but Mike agreed to go. Why? Did Mike look forward to touring: Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernitsi and Kiev. Had historical events and outstanding people been the main attraction? Was knowledge of the current cultural, political and economic challenges the determining factor? What he had no hope of expecting was what he learned about his grandfather's dreams from Natasha, a young attractive aristocratic woman.
