Before, during and after World War II, the author was active in the Ukrainian underground resistance, fighting first against the Polish, then the Soviet occupation. This book documents her life from the age of 14 when she was recruited, through her participation in the movement, her marriage to revolutionary leader Orlan, their capture and her eventual escapes from the KGB which, tragically, cost her both her husband and her children.
