Review # 1 was written on 2014-10-29 00:00:00 Justin Silverstein Compulsively readable story of St. Dimitri, written by his daughter. A significant portion was written in a second person voice, which was interesting. Having said that, his kindness, faith, and love shone through. It was also a fascinating history of the French diaspora of the church in the years following the Russian Revolution. The last section is a collection of his letters to his wife - they are wonderful reading and there were moments where I thought that the captivity didn't sound so horrific, which I realize is a testament to his acceptance and perseverance, not of the laxity of the internment camps. Edifying morning read.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-11-17 00:00:00 Alex Markman The letters in the back are particularly compelling, heartbreaking, and inspiring.
