The White Lamb by Mela Meisner Lindsay

The Story of Evaliz—Shukar Balan: The White Lamb by Mela Meisner Lindsay

The title words, "Shukar Balan" and "White Lamb," are one and the same. This is what a tall, dark, and handsome Gypsy fiddler called Evaliz, a blond, sixteen-year-old Russian-German peasant girl, at a wedding dance under the stars in Russia, 1893.

Shukar Balan: The White Lamb is the story of a philosophical father and a son who dreams only of the military—who wants to be a skilled horseman exactly like the Don Cossack. But mainly it is the story of Evaliz, the daughter, who wills her life to be different and who longs for America—that land of liberty and freedom which lies far across the sea.

But many things have to happen before her longing is stilled.
