Book Description
During the World War II siege of Leningrad, a young Russian nurse finds a nearly starved orphan boy--Shurik--in the rubble of a bombed-out apartment house. With honesty and humor, Kyra Wayne recalls a brutal period of Soviet history when scarcity of such basics as food, water and heat drove people to the heights of courage or cowardice.
