'After a traumatic break up with her boyfriend in Chicago, Sylvia is persuaded to go on a trip to Lithuania, the land of her ancestors. She doesn't expect to find new friends who take her to some of the most beautiful places in the country. Nor does she expect to fall for an Olympic rower or meet a bossy ghost who's determined to give her history lessons at every opportunity. However, Sylvia has to make an important decision. Should she go back to Chicago or stay in Lithuania?'

Dedication:
2018 marks the centenary of Lithuania's Declaration of Independence from Russia. This novel is for people who have discovered something about their ancestors and for those who long to travel to Lithuania, but haven't yet had the chance to do so.
I am proud that Tomas Zickauskas, my greatgrandfather, contributed to the Lithuanian independence movement, as a book smuggler and writer for the Ausra newspaper.
