The Importance of Family History

The book is part your family stories, as you mentioned there. They tried to get married three times and each time it was either the Germans invading the Soviet Union or the total lack of teakettles in Soviet Central Asia. So they gave the money for the marriage to a friend who wanted a kettle. There's such warm human stories mixed in with the history as well. It really is a great book. Thank you.
