The Story That Cannot Be Told

J. Kasper Kramer

In 1989 Romania, Ileana has always written stories, but her family learns that their Bucharest home is being monitored under the Leader’s rule. Her father destroys her writing, and she is sent to stay with her grandparents in a mountain village. There, the apparent peace gives way to fear after Ileana finds her missing uncle badly injured in an old church and unfamiliar men begin questioning people. Alongside these events, Ileana creates a fairy tale about a girl sharing her name who faces an evil prince.
