Linda Niedfeldt tells the story about German-Russian Lisenka Schallert in RED as in Russia and Measles and Love ($14.49, paperback, 9781545603208; $6.99, e-book, 9781545603215). This is the first book in a series and tells of the Schallerts' persecution in Russia and their escape to America.

Living in Russia in 1926, Lisenka's family is threatened by the Russian government. After their Christian school is closed and their Bible confiscated, they feel their only recourse is to flee the country and seek a fresh start.

"Students who read about Lisenka's family's escape from Russia will see parallels in current events. They will better understand the dilemmas of immigrants everywhere," said Niedfeldt.

Linda Niedfeldt was raised in small town USA and is the mother of four children. She continues to write historical fiction for children and has completed Lisenka's next adventure: GREEN as in Springtime, New Life, and God's Will.
