Stories from Ukraine

Imagine it’s the middle of winter you three small children sleeping and all of a sudden you hear bombs and life as we knew it is over. Instead of getting up and going to work you’re gathering your children to go stand in line at a border for days waiting for help while your husband stays back and fights with the hometown army or being a 15-year-old boy having dreams that are violently interrupted by rushes bombs and instead of warring about the girl you have a crush on your biggest worry is living or dying. This is what happened to hundreds of Ukrainian citizens. It is something most of us cannot imagine and that is why I was curious to read this book I wish that was more I could do then just send money but sometimes that’s the best we can do this is such a sad situation and having read many books on why Russia did this and who’s fault it was in the end it’s still a relevant to these people and their lives being disrupted no matter who is to blame it’s not going to change the circumstances. This is such a good book just make sure you have tissues available and you may want to take breaks in between chapters. It really is a sad but hopeful book. It’s one thing to hear something in an abstract way but to hear direct stories from the victim themselves is something totally different . Kudos to the author for doing such a great job and giving your voice to these victims or what I like to think of a survivors I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher that I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.
