Synopsis

Step into the heart of Ukraine’s tumultuous upheaval with Anna, a resilient soul born into a Mennonite farm family. Reforms following the 1917 socialist revolution shattered her once-peaceful countryside’s tranquillity, plunging the nation into chaos and lawlessness. In the ensuing battleground, the ideals of justice clash with violent revolutionaries and looting gangs, leaving devastation in their wake.

Fleeing the horrors, Anna’s family seeks refuge in Eastern Siberia, only to find themselves labelled again as “dangerous social elements” under the Soviet iron-fisted regime. In the shadow of the Gulag’s torture prisons and forced labour camps, Anna and her family confront the harsh reality of survival, a period often likened to ‘the other Holocaust.’ Most of her siblings and also her father and mother die from hunger, poverty, imprisonment and executions.

“To Me, You Are Good.” is a gripping narrative that illuminates the harrowing experiences of those who endured Stalin’s socialist terror. Beyond a tale of suffering, this book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and an unwavering faith in a benevolent God.

The saga unfolds over seventy years as Anna’s journey leads her from the USSR to West Germany, a quest for peace, freedom, and love. Against the backdrop of political conflicts, both societal and personal, the narrative weaves personal stories with historical nuances. This compelling book is a must-read for those intrigued by Ukrainian, Russian, Mennonite, and Christian history.

“To Me, You Are Good.” invites readers on a moving journey through the shadows of adversity, where the light of hope and enduring faith in God’s justice ultimately triumphs.
