About the Silence of Trees
Synopsis In Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, Nadya Lysenko has built her life on a foundation of secrets.
Years later, Nadya continues to be haunted by the death of her parents and sisters. She clings to her traditions and stories from Ukraine, the only parts of her past that she can share with her family. The myths and magic of Nadya’s childhood are still a part of her reality: house spirits misplace keys and glasses, dreams unite friends across time and space, and a fortuneteller’s cards predict the future. Her beloved dead also insist on being heard, through dreams and whispers in the night. They want the truth to come out. Nadya needs to face her past and confront the secrets she buried within–The Silence of Trees.

One
night when Nadya was sixteen, she snuck out of her house in Western
Ukraine to meet a fortuneteller in the woods. Ignoring the threat
of Nazis and Russians, Nadya was driven by love and a desire to
know the unknown. She never expected it to be the last time she
would see her family.
