Based on a true story, Lilacs in the Dust Bowl is an inspirational family saga about love and heartache during the Great Depression.
In 1929, when Lukia Mazurets, a widow and 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.
Lilacs in the Dust Bowl is the sequel to the award-winning Sunflowers Under Fire, based on the author's grandmother and her family's life in Russia (present-day Ukraine) and in Canada.
