I realised that we would never have a future in this godforsaken
place. One by one we would gradually die. We were always hungry as
we never had enough to eat and we had little hope of ever leaving.
I became so desperate I knew I had to do something about our
situation. As a young girl, Ewa Lugwiga Cisalowicz was turned out
of her Polish family home by invading Soviet soldiers in 1939. For
the next five years, her family were transported to various labour
camps under Stalin's rule. The conditions were so appalling that
every day was a struggle to survive. With five younger siblings to
feed, as well as her mother and father, starvation was at the
forefront of Ewa's mind. In desperation, she learned how to forage
in the forest to help feed her family, knowing that if she had been
caught, she would have been shot. This true story about life in the
most desperate of times is as moving as it is compelling. Ewa's
spirit, determination and positive outlook serve as a wonderful
inspiration and her strength shines through the prose. Pick this
book up to marvel, cry and rejoice as one of the grimmest periods
of recent history is narrated first-hand.
