This book gave me a whole different perspective on tragedy and loss. I have never never been a “church goer”, this book opened my mind to the idea that there perhaps is a plan set in place and every life event has its purpose. Beautifully written. So sorry for such losses.
This book gave me a chance to delve into the mind of a young native who had personal experience in the history of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and her involvement and information on the persecuted church . This book gave me an opportunity to experience what it is like to love so deeply even at the costs of everything. It is a fast read, but oh does it make you stop and think, and reflect over your own life. Everyone can benefit from Galina’s story of Hope.
This was an excellent book. I would recommend everyone read this. It definitely shows you how God never left Galina nor forsook her. Even after the most tragic events, God pulled her through. God gave her hope. I love how there is a summary at the end of each chapter and then some questions. It would be perfect for a book club or Bibly study group. I am sure this was a very hard story to tell. Thank you so much for sharing your heart-wrenching story.
Galina is a hero of faith the likes of Corrie Ten Boom. Her story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Her life and perseverance is a testimony to the power of God to sustain and carry through the greatest darkness of human experience. When you think you can’t go on, surround yourself with stories like this, and you will see you are not alone, and that Hope is holy and real and necessary.

Heartbreaking story, yet great testimony of God’s grace, mercy and unfailing love! Thank you Galina and Peter for such an honest revealing of your feelings through it all.
