However, when that youthful mind has been fueled with tales of Cossacks, imperial Russia, fairy tales, war and revolution, and everything exciting for a young boy, by a bigger-than-life grandfather who is a real Cossack, then the pain of life's lessons can become pivotal in the coming of age and maturity of that boy. Grand-pere's Troika is a story of a young boy in Kansas whose Russian Cossack grandfather holds a special place in his heart. Their bond, however, becomes stressed and threatened by family tragedy, only to be renewed during a special Christmas and an memorable sleigh ride in a Grand-pere's troika that seals their love for eachother and infuses the season with warmth, family and lasting memories.
