It's 1941 and fifteen-year-old artist Lina Vilkas is on Stalin's extermination list. Deported to a prison camp in Siberia, Lina fights for her life, fearless, risking everything to save her family. It's a long and harrowing journey and is only their incredible strength, love, and home that pull Lina and her family through each day. But will love be enough to keep them alive?
4/5 stars (really liked it)
This is not a happy book but it is so well written. I love how the author told the story of what is going on as well as giving up a back story through flashbacks of Lena and her family. I was not aware of the horrible things that Stalin did. What a horrible time to have lived in these places. The conditions these people were put through was just heartbreaking. All the characters including the bad people were interesting and believable.
