Helen Papanikolas, known and respected internationally as the preeminent narrator of the Greek American experience, offers a narrative rich with life, insight, and experience she portrays the generations of a Greek-American family. Their story is rooted in sheepherding, set primarily in Helper, Utah, and shaped by the changes that the twentieth century brings to them.
