Description: "In the winter of 1939, five-year-old Andrew Bienkowski was exiled to Siberia with his family. The two years of struggle that followed - especially his grandfather's amazing act of sacrifice during their first long, cold winter - have informed the rest of Andrew's life. Thanks to his devoted mother, his quick-witted grandmother, and the unexpected kindness of strangers, Andrew established an approach to life that emphasizes helping others as the essential path to finding our greatest human fulfillment."--From Amazon.com
