Summary:  "In 1924, Nikifor Andriev was driven from his homeland and settled in Canada as part of a grop of 116 privately sponsored Russian refugees. Their new home, Homeglen, Alberta, was a symbol of promise and prosperity. Like countless refugees, Nikifor faced the obstacles and opportunities of life in Canada with a determination to succeed against all odds. Reinventing himself following numerous setbacks, he watched his family grow and disperse to pursue their own dreams, hoping that each succeeding generation would have na easier life that the one before. Nearly a century after Nikifor's arrival in Homeglen, his son Michael Andruf, reflects upon his family's history, the legacy of the refugee experience, and the parallels of his father's generation of refugees with those of today. Andruff shares this story as a call to action, donating his royalties from the sale of this book to the Homeglen Legacy Fund, which supports refugee sponsorship and resettlement in Canada." --Back cover.
