This book is about the first 100 days since the treacherous attack of fascist Russia on Ukraine. But this book is not about war and battles. She is about people. About our feelings and emotions, experiences, fears, pain, suffering, hope and love. I started writing this book when I couldn't sleep all night because of the loud booms of our air defense and explosions nearby, listening to see if the bombardment was approaching, if I needed to grab my wife and son and run to the shelter. That night I realized that as a writer I must become the voice of those whose stories need to be told to people all over the world. I wrote about what I saw and felt. About what my relatives and friends shared with me. It became a chronicle, a diary and a confession. I wrote our stories so that the whole world would know and understand what we went through. So that the whole world lived this war with us - in houses shaking from explosions, in cold basements, parking lots, bomb shelters, subway stations and the ruins of burning cities. So that peace may look into our hearts through the torn wounds, forever left in them by this cruel war.
