CHICAGO – The voice message was from a Canadian woman, an author of many books on Ukrainian themes. She was going to be in the area in the fall and wanted to do an event for the Chicago Ukrainian young people.
I called her back and the story unfolded. This author didn’t speak Ukrainian, she had the improbable name of Marsha, yet she had written more than 20 bestselling books and half of them were on Ukrainian historical themes. Her name was Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch. Partway through that first conversation, I realized that I had been using one of her books for Holodomor education. That book is “Dosyt” – “Enough” in English.
