They crossed the ocean for a promise and built a life out of memory itself.

Told through recovered letters, heirloom recipes, and real immigration records, The Circle of Kourabies is a true, raw history of courage.

In 1909, spirited Penelope leaves her seaside village in Greece for America, bound by arranged marriage to a candymaker she hardly knows. Across another deck and another storm, a small boy named Nickolas sails with his parents toward the same uncertain shore. From the heat of the candy shop in East St. Louis, life in the trenches, to a post-prohibition tavern in the sun-washed groves of Los Angeles, their families endure wars, loss, hard work, prohibition, and renewal, until fate entwines their bloodlines into one circle that never breaks.

“A lively, novel look at a 20th-century immigrant experience.”

“The work brings the histories of real people, their memories, and their food to evocative life.” - Kirkus Reviews

Kathy Crane built a distinguished career as an executive while raising her daughters on her own. After her marriage to Dean Harrison ended, she rebuilt her life with focus and independence, remaining close and connected to her parents, "Doc" Nick Chester and Mary. Her work took her around the world and cultivated the leadership skills she later brought to public life, serving as Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce in the coastal Oregon town where she and her husband, George, settled after retirement. Both the vision for this book and the meticulous arrangement of recipes began with her. Projects born from gratitude, memory, and a desire to honor the generations before her.
