Description

As the Great War clamors into Finland, Sergeant Matti Ranta of the Finnish Conscripted Corps and his new girlfriend Anna Ojala struggle to keep their lives intact. Matti is sent to the front to lay siege on Leningrad in alliance with a terrible enemy. Torn between his desire to regain his homeland and an aching suspicion that what they are doing isn't right, Matti is forced to make an unimaginable choice to save an orphan who will surely die without his intervention.
Set in 1940's Finland and Leningrad, this story weaves two cultures together through the lives of three people who never should have met, but who would be inexplicably drawn together through a great miracle of faith in a time when miracles seem impossible.
And in the end, love survives.
