Then God Said Count To Ten

A memoir by Nadia Danett, as told to Michael Shepley. Nadia Danett is an educator who taught her native Russian language to high school students for nearly four decades at the independent St. Louis Country Day School (now MICDS) in Missouri. As a teacher and advisor, Danett's influence on her students moved far beyond language into culture, history, and the arts. In an historically all-male environment, she also gave love, compassion and encouragement to boys who thrived under her inspiring and generous guidance. For years, Danett told only fragments of her remarkable life story beginning in Poland in 1924, through the ravages of World War II in Eastern Europe, her journey with husband Chester to America in 1948, and to the success and happiness they both found in their adopted country. In this revealing memoir, the entire story is told at last - a story of drama, devotion, hope and humor rarely diminished during times of trial, and a series of astonishing miracles both large and small. Nadia Danett's story is a beacon to anyone seeking demonstrable evidence of the power of faith, and its deliverance from darkness into light.
