Laura Lynne Williams's Books

A memoir of love and nature in the Russian countryside.

Provides timely and informative profiles of the world's most interesting people.

Drawn to Russia to work on conserving its extensive wilderness, Laura Williams shares the story of her life-changing move to the countryside, where she works on a remote nature reserve and falls in love with its director, Igor Shpilenok. Together they explore the wilderness in the Bryansk Forest surrounding their village of Chukhrai, encountering the elusive black stork, apprehending poachers, and raising a moose. Through the long winter, they cope with hardships, which Laura learns are nothing compared to those the villagers have experienced in the past century. City born and bred as a typica.

The elementary school is planning a Halloween party, and Ricky's class is in charge of creating a spooky haunted classroom. But Ricky and his friends are doing such a good job that Ricky is scaring himself. He believes a real Halloween ghost is following him!

The true story of a young American woman who moves to a remote village in western Russia and falls in love with a nature photographer. Together they explore the wilderness of the impenetrable Bryansk Forest, coming face-to-face with bison and bears, apprehending poachers and a runaway stallion, and raising a stork and a moose. As they build a house and a life together, nature often sets the agenda, bringing floods and impassable roads, blood-sucking insects, and bone-chilling cold. Yet these present-day hardships are nothing compared to those the Chukhrai villagers have experienced in the past century--from forced hunger to Communist repression to Hitler's invasion. As Laura learns about the history and life of the village and its 19 inhabitants, she discovers the enduring spirit of the Russian people and the immeasurable joys of living with nature.--From publisher description.
