Amidst fields of resilience, 'LUDMILA' blooms—a story of hope and freedom poised to awaken your spirit this July.
With no memories of her mother and brought up by an abusive stepmother, her life journey took her through many storms. These storms included the death of her daughter, rejection, false accusation, attempted suicide, the death of her husband and learning to dance solo again. Whether we choose it or not, life brings storms. How we handle those storms is our decision. And our choices determine our future. "Though The Storms Rage" is about dancing through those storms of life - whether it be a victory dance, or a sideways two-step used to stay on our feet. Marion has weathered more storms than many of us, but still she dances, literally. Her decision to take up ballroom dancing in her sixties is a testament to her ongoing enjoyment of life. This book is a gentle guided tour through her life. The stories are humble; the reactions real and honest. Storms batter and often bruise her, but she hangs on and we find her feet dancing again. This is real life.
Beginning in Ukraine during Stalin’s rule, Ludmila’s story follows her being ripped from her quiet home at two years of age. A telling of the loss of her parents and everything familiar to her, blended amongst the thousands suffering in starvation, and her fight for survival.
At age ten, Ludmila was placed in a Russian Komsomol school and everything pertaining to her Ukrainian heritage became forbidden to mention.
When Hitler’s army invades, Ludmila’s capture and transportation to a forced-labour camp in Germany leads to an unlikely love story, and the eventual birth of her firstborn son.
Walk her journey through these emotional and inspiring pages to see Ludmila rise from oppression to freedom, from Ukraine and Germany and then to Australia.

Her poignant memoir, "Though the Storms Rage Yet Will I Dance," and her historically rich true story, "LUDMILA," reflect Marion's intricate tapestry of storytelling. The anticipation builds for her next work, "CHARITY-CONVICT CHILD," which is set to explore the depths of her Australian heritage.
Fuelled by faith and a relentlessly optimistic spirit, Marion infuses hope into every narrative she crafts.
