After the death of her father and the departure of her mother, Vasilisa’s life turned into a nightmare. The girl grew up in prosperity and love, but after graduating from school she has to get a hard job - as a dishwasher in a cafe - in order to somehow ensure the existence of her small family: her twelve-year-old brother Petka and her grandmother, paralyzed after a stroke. However, no matter how hard Vaska tries, they still don’t have enough money. The only option left is to rent out one of the rooms in a three-room apartment. So a nice and positive tenant in all respects, Sasha, appears in their house... The book was also published under the title “Prairie Fragrant Flower.”
