Myshka’s Shawl

About the Book

Ofelia, who lives in Guelph, Ontario, is haunted by her early memory of being deserted in a Toronto park when she was three years old. She passionately believes that her father never meant to abandon her. Twenty-five years later an opportunity to solve the mystery presents itself when she meets Edda, who teaches English, and George, a man on a mission to improve himself. Together the three leave for the Czech Republic in search of Ofelia’s father. The Quest is on. Their only tangible clue is the emblem woven into an old shawl. All they have is courage, faith and a sense of adventure.
