The Songs of Dzintra

The Songs of Dzintra is the story of a doll who sings and is passed down through three generations of daughters as their lives change due to the experience of war and migration.

Dzintra's name means amber, the national gemstone of Latvia. In Latvian folklore amber is believed to be the tears of the Sun Goddess Saule. 

Like the golden-yellow warmth of amber, Dzintra's songs light the way across new landscapes and language while also ensuring connection to ancestral lineage.
