About the book

Yevheniia stayed with her daughter in an almost deserted settlement. While those who remained didn’t rush to leave, she held on until the very end as well. But one day she was forced to abandon everything — her home, the work she loved, the life she once knew. Grabbing her daughter and only the essentials, she set off on a long journey — to a place where it was quieter, where she could sleep peacefully without flinching at every sound. She managed to find a new place, but not a home. Because surviving among strangers is a different kind of battle. Here, she is an outsider. And around her are tired, closed-off people, each carrying their own pain: someone lonely, someone who hasn’t heard a familiar voice in a long time, someone who has lost more than they ever thought possible…

    Liya, thank you! An incredibly warm and kind life story that reads easily and in one breath)) Reading about the present... few people write about this now... about pain, losses due to war... about evacuations, horrors, about children suffering from anxiety and destruction, about displaced people and the attitude towards them from people who have never woken up under shelling... it's incredible, it's an honest story!

    It's so sad for the little one that her first bouquet of flowers wasn't from her dad. But how much joy there is that Tymur carried her in his arms! And in the evening, they will celebrate the harvest festival, so everyone will prepare together, and this will bring everyone even closer. Thank you!♥️

    And why is it inconvenient? You don't betray Myron, life goes on, and your daughter needs a father who will protect her from the thunder. Thank you for the update!♥️

    Poor child is afraid of thunder because she experienced evacuation, and Zhenya herself doesn’t like storms either. But when there are so many of them now in Yaryna’s state, one can relax and swim together with Nastya, because they need to wash off the dust after harvesting. Such moments bring the girls closer and closer. So Nastya wouldn’t mind having someone like Zhenya as her father’s wife. Thank you!♥️

    Oh, now Zhenya has protection, and not just Timur, but also Nastya, so she doesn't need to be afraid of the local women. Thanks for the update!♥️
