Valerie Taller invites readers to stand beside a young woman whose family and future are caught in a time of upheaval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in Kiev in 1905 under Tsar Nicholas II, Batia is an ongoing historical-fiction series about a young Jewish woman. It explores resilience, love, family, humor, and survival through her experiences and the people closest to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat I appreciate is the intention to give a long-held story room to unfold.
