I love these summer mornings when I can open all the windows first thing in the morning. Unfortunately for my hubby and baby bassets it also means I want to spend a little time outside. That coupled with the fact that I have extreme guilt (but no regrets) for the large amount of junk food I ate while camping, means everyone suffers. Last night, right after dinner, I made the entire family go for a nice evening walk around the block. I think hubby has been taking lessons from the kids, because he was fussing just as much as they were. I was complaining as well, but all in my head. I am pretty proud of myself for doing one healthy thing yesterday. I am setting the bar pretty low so that it will be easy for me to top it today. So far I am thinking about doing something active, so that already sets be on the right track to surpass yesterday. Maybe I will harvest the carrots that I think are just about ready. MAN!! I am on a roll!

As Russian Civil War Rages, An Unexpected Heroine Emerges
What if a Siberian Joan of Arc had rescued the White Armies at a critical point of the Russian Civil War in 1919?
In a quiet town near Siberia’s Lake Baikal, Zhanna Dorokhina turns eighteen as the Russian Civil War rages. She is a bright, headstrong girl, with normal hopes and dreams, but for years, she has heard inner voices. The voices tell her to be virtuous, study well, and nurture her faith, for a great task lies ahead.
Prophetic Voices Foretell of Russia’s Doom
Lately, however, the voices have turned ominous, foretelling Russia’s doom if the White Armies fail to crush the Bolshevik usurpers in Moscow. They direct Zhanna to travel to Omsk to alert the Siberian dictator, Admiral Kolchak, and to seek command of an army to besiege Moscow.
When Zhanna informs her father, he thinks her mad. But a young American intelligence officer and his Russian counterpart help win her an audience with the Admiral, and the two young men become her wartime companions.
In The Face Of Death, Will The Prophecies Be Fulfilled?
Though Zhanna and the American officer harbor tender feelings for one another, Zhanna must put those feelings aside, because her voices demand that she remain pure. During the coming months, Zhanna persists despite relentless opposition. Displaying remarkable charisma and military aptitude, she leads her army across vast expanses of untamed forest and steppe, where suffering, violence and treachery await at every turn. But over time, Zhanna’s obsession with victory arouses powerful enemies. Defying a ceasefire, Zhanna wins her greatest battle, only to ride into a Bolshevik ambush soon after. Held captive, she must endure a vengeful show trial and face the verdict alone, without knowing whether her prophecies will be fulfilled.
