At Oberlin College in 1936, a city girl from Detroit fell in love with a boy who grew up among peasants in Bulgaria, the son of missionaries. Her father was against them marrying, sure the young man would spirit his daughter away to Europe-and that's exactly what happened. This is the story of two families joined by marriage, how a young American couple made a life together in Europe in the years following World War II, and how it all turned out, as told from the perspective of the wife, mother, grandmother at age 80.
