This is an automatically translated description

The heroes and heroines of this book suffered various losses in the war: some lost an arm or a leg, both legs or both arms, an eye, teeth or half a skull. Others lost their peace of mind, the ability to sleep soundly, and sometimes the meaning of life. Someone's spine was shattered, and someone's nerves were shattered. For many, the war took away not only their health, but also their friends, comrades-in-arms, loved ones, and homes. Instead, it left a huge void in their souls.

In Anastasia Fedchenko's book, you will read 11 stories of winners and losers. They conquer Hoverla on prostheses and run marathons, skydive and win medals in sports competitions, work, travel and give birth to children. Everyone has their own path and pace: some still can't calmly remember the moment of injury, while others joke about lost limbs. These stories make you cry, laugh, get cold with horror and marvel at the light that can be found even in war. They are inspiring.

This book is not only for people who have seen the war up close, it is for each of us (and about each of us). After all, any of our wounds and losses - visible or invisible - can become an anchor, or they can become a springboard to something completely new.
