Song Out of Darkness

<p>“In an age of increasing international insecurity the concept of home becomes of still greater importance as does our relationship with other races and cultures. This account of an American-born woman of Ukrainian extraction married for 50 years to a Devon farmer offers a small but entrancing vision of what unlikely meetings of culture blood and tradition can produce.</p><p>This wise and spirited account of one woman’s life suggests how old traditions transplanted can become renewed and how brave life choices can generate creative outcomes. I read Karen’s story with the kind of quiet pleasure that only the truly authentic can deliver.”</p><p>Salley Vickers</p>
