About the Book
“This story is one for the ages…at a time when the concept of marriage in our society is so fragile and its reality so weakened, the strength and courage of the marriage relationship, so beautifully depicted here, is a remarkable witness to the Orthodox way.”
+ HERMAN, Retired Archbishop of Washington
Metropolitan of All America and Canada
These letters and journals were written by an intelligent, University trained woman who successfully resisted the “feminism” model in her generation and found her true career in marriage—with children. She supported her husband in church work and Bible translation for non-literate tribal people, standing with him for evolution-free education.
