As new empty-nesters, Harriet and Preston next looked forward to becoming grandparents.
Their journey to assuming the names of Mema and P-Pa, however, took a tragic and unexpected turn.
The Gulag P-Pa Diaries tells a bittersweet story of anticipation, loss and sorrow counterbalanced with hope, faith, and a butterfly on the path to grandparenthood.
