One of my goals in writing a book
about Sergei Kourdakov was to correct the misinformation about him. On second thought, I’ll change that to, “my
only goal.” I was determined to write A Rose for Sergei, even though writing a
book about anything was the furthest thing from my mind. That’s why I was truly surprised when I
received the following email:
“We are excited to announce that the book ‘A
Rose for Sergei’ has won the Silver / 2nd Place award in the 2019 Feathered Quill
Book Awards Program for the Best of Backlist* category! (*Not newly published.)
Comments from the Feathered Quill
Book Awards Judges:
“Doing a simple search on Sergei Kourdakov
produces plenty of information on his escape from the KGB, conversion to
Christianity ... but the author, K. Kidd, knew him not only personally but
romantically. This is no ordinary
story!”
“This is one of those stories that if it
wasn’t true, it would make for great fiction.”
“Kudos ... for sharing the human side of
one man who was determined, against incredible odds, to change for the better.”
