About this ebook
Olena's Calling is a story of loss and reconnection, of transitions and settling, of love and despair. Olena uses her telephone as an instrument of her "calling". She is the loving central grapevine of her family, tying them all together. When she dies, who will take her place?
Even with careful planning and steadfastness, or not, surprises dictate the direction of everyone's journey. Set on both sides of the Atlantic, in Eastern Europe and Canada, follow Olena's family as life unfolds.
