description: This is the extraordinary story of a Russian immigrant who exchanges the life of a farmer for that of a teacher who devoted herself to family and students. Inka, despite hardship and toil, plays out her sole desire to help others by keeping a light on whenever she is needed. Set in Vermont in the early years of the twentieth century, the story carries us from a time when a single-classroom school was the center of education to the mega complexes of today with their computers and technological advancements. Inka's life of excitement and ambition will draw cheers and tears from readers, and ultimately will generate the respect her legacy deserves. How stimulating it is to relate her life to our own potential.
