Luba lives with her parents in a Chicago neighborhood full of others like themselvesimmigrants from Ukraine. Her parents want only two things: to enjoy a new life in America and to hold on to the old waysthe church, the language, the traditionsof Ukrainian culture. They want these things for Luba, too.Luba wants only the first part of their wish. She wants to leave her neighborhoodnot to mention Ukrainebehind. It's 1968, and protesting American students have taken to the city streets. Thinking that it's time she breaks step with her heritage and gets into step with her peers, Luba registers as Linda on the first day at her commuter college. Then she buys a secondhand car to drive into a future far from her parent's Wheat Street home.The car must, however, first carry her father to his doctor's appointments, a Ukrainian celebrity to her featured appearances, a dying neighbor home from work, and her lifelong buddies to school and back. Somewhere along the way, Linda takes a backseat and Luba takes the wheel, finding a new road to a destination somewhere between Ukraine and America.In WHEN LUBA LEAVES HOME, awardwinning author Irene Zabytko creates a bright new voice to tell the classic story of how the children of America's melting pot grow up strong enough to carry their double identities.
