Stitched from the Heart

Maria doesn't know what to make of the holidays in Chicago of 1994 and she hasn't been here long enough to know that American culture isn't just about working hard, but also playing hard. Andriy has always been taught to preserve his Ukrainian heritage despite him and his parents never being able to go there. He's starting to question why he should hold onto his culture until he begins to teach Maria's younger brother at his Ukrainian Youth Organization. Both grew up in different environments, but they share a love for their culture.
