Siberian Pearls A Buryat Journey

Follow the author's trips as a single Baha'i woman to Buryatia, a republic in Russian Siberia, to adopt three Buryat children growing up in orphanages there. Her journeys in 1998 and 2001 describe a little known post-Soviet country, the ancestral home of Genghis Khan, as it struggles with monumental change and poverty, but also experiences a resurgence of traditional Buryat culture needed to build new hope for the future. Join a modern day odyssey of the heart and spirit, mixed with a little luck and humor, and see how one family's lives will never be the same.Popke, Suzanne is the author of 'Siberian Pearls A Buryat Journey', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413789089 and ISBN 1413789080.
