About this ebook
Alla was just a child when World War II invaded the Ukraine. The blunt horror of war ended her childhood. In 1944 Allied forces made their way toward the German forced-labor camp where she and a handful of family members struggled to stay alive. Under the constant threat of starvation, torture, and death, Alla remembered back to childhood moments on her knees when she had sensed the presence of God. Alla decided that if the war ever ended and she survived to see it, she would find Him again.
Haunting and inspiring, this is the true story of a girl who, amid the soul-ravaging horrors of war, came to know the God of hope and deliverance.

About the author
Alla Czerkasij is a survivor with every reason to be bitter; she has survived everything from Communism and Nazism to tuberculosis and starvation. However, her faith in God has made her better instead of bitter. She continues to share her amazing story—and her love for God—to live audiences, as well as in radio and newspaper interviews.
Natalie Czerkasij Lewellen, daughter of Alla Czerkasij and product of Ukrainian heritage, has listened to her mother’s stories of World War II survival her entire life, and is happy to team with her mother to share those stories within the pages of this book. Natalie resides with her husband, Jim, and their daughter in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
