Old Country Surprises Ken Saik

When Mike Bennek's ailing grandfather asks him to take time off from work for a research holiday to Ukraine, Mike eagerly accepts. Along with his brothers and a few friends, he looks forward to connecting with his family's past.
Mike finds his grandfather's birthplace with the help of the beautiful, strong-willed Natasha. Through her, he learns more about his culture and family than either he or his grandfather thought possible.
Five years after his research holiday, another opportunity to return to Ukraine and work with Natasha arises. Mike is forced to reexamine his mixed feelings about Natasha and in the process grows more to be the kind of man his grandfather hoped he would be.
