Meet Anna – a girl who has travelled all over the world. Her father is a business man and therefore travels a lot. She goes with him because she loves photography, fashion, and basically just trying new things. She has a huge scrapbook album of all the places she’s been, and has three full closets of designer clothes from all over the world. Anna lives in New York, and since her mother had died when she was only three, she is alone most of the time. Well not quite – she’s usually found at the mall, hanging out with friends, at her dance lessons, or playing the piano.
She is thrilled when her dad says that they’re going to France – the fashion capital of the world for the entire summer. But plans take a turn when her father discovers that his great aunt is in her death bed, and decides to visit their homeland instead – Ukraine. Anna knows nothing about this country because her dad had moved to America when she was a baby. She has no friends, no cell phone, no internet, no nothing there. Well maybe except a few crazy relatives that she doesn’t know anything about.
Anna is devastated because not only will she not get to go to France, but she will also not get to go designer shopping, or take photos of the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Instead, she will be stuck on a farm in the outskirts of an Eastern European country she knows nothing about – not the ideal summer for a spoiled city teenager.
Follow along on Anna’s journey to Ukraine, as she finds out more about her family, culture, ethics, heritage, and even herself, (and maybe even love along the way).
(There will also be lots of humour in this book, for example, Anna gets her period in the airport and has trouble asking her dad for money for a tampon, and other typical teen problems like that).
Anna- 16, dark green eyes, long wavy chestnut hair, nice figure, petite. She is Ukrainian. Beautiful, smart, witty, sarcastic. Loves to travel, dance, sing, and play the piano. Her favourite things to do are shopping and photography. She has a huge scrapbook album of pictures from all over the world, and three full closets of designer clothes from all over the world. She is impatient, friendly, funny, confident, forgetful, stubborn at times, and polite.
I am also Ukrainian, therefore this will be an easy topic for me to write about because I know the culture, and ethics and such of the country.
