Olga Yunter was born in July 1900 in a remote frontier post in southern Siberia. A girlhood played out against the backdrop of the China trade changed forever, when, at seventeen, Olga joined her brothers in their fight against the Bolsheviks. Death and retribution followed. Olga was forced to flee to China, rubies sewn into her petticoats. Twice more Olga would be forced to leave everything behind – first to escape Mao’s Communists, and again when Japan invaded China during World War II. From the comfort of her family to the terror of revolution, war and exile, Olga’s Story is the heartbreaking tale of the author’s grandmother.
