It is June 1941 when there is a knock at the door that changes her life forever. The Soviet Secret Police (NKVD) gives Lina, her mother, and younger brother only minutes to pack. They are then ushered to cattle carts where they begin a heart-wrenching journey of torture, starvation, and humiliation in Soviet labor camps. Sepetys does a fantastic job of bringing to the forefront a part of history that is often overlooked. The Baltic region not only endured the horrors of Hitler but also the equally atrocious suffering under Stalin. Military personnel, engineers, teachers, librarians and many more were taken from their homes and sent to prisons and forced labor camps that proved just as horrific as any of the concentration camps under Hitler.

For the people of the Baltic’s, this war was about believing. In 1991, after fifty years of brutal occupation, the three Baltic countries regained their independence, peacefully and with dignity. They chose hope over hate and showed the world that even through the darkest night, there is light…..These three tiny nations have taught us that love is the most powerful army. Whether love of friend, love of country, love of God, or even love of enemy – love reveals to us the truly miraculous nature of the human spirit.” – Ruta E.
