Bake what Katerina would have — prairie honey-wheat bread, the kind kneaded in an isolated homestead kitchen. A warm centerpiece for your meeting.

  1. Whole-wheat & honey dough, slow-risen
  2. Braided, brushed with butter
  3. Best with strong tea, the way they drank it

A note from Ceone

[ A short personal note from Ceone to book clubs goes here — in her own words — on what drew her to this story. ]

Followed by a short author Q&A — five questions readers always ask.

Author's Note

What's true, and what I invented

A little context to deepen your discussion:

Drawn from life

The 1920s wave of Ukrainian emigration from L'viv, the arranged marriages that brought women to the Canadian plains, the brutal isolation of prairie homesteads, and the era's grain economy are all real.

Invented for the story

Katerina Danek, the Senyk household, and the prairie town of Bilik, Saskatchewan, are fiction. (Illustrative — Ceone's own note to come.)

Each novel gets its own kit — It Happened at Whisper Lake has a Northwoods version (lake-house menu, a loon-country playlist, and Ceone's note on writing a town's grief).
