Tamara Duda

As the author states that her book "...is about courage, too, about the out-and-out courage to claim what is rightfully yours, to recognize it, to dig in your heels, and never give away to anyone what is yours, your home, your motherland, your heart, your right to walk with your head held high.... The author calls her novel Daughter part of the war effort. The heroine absorbs both what I (the Author) personally experienced and the experiences of many of the combatants, military volunteers, and displaced people whom fate brought together. She has become a 'stronghold' for many people. 'We shall live' says the heroine. 'Indeed, we shall!' I reply." from the Foreword by Tamara DudaThis book surely will become a classic of war fiction and war journalism and a landmark for our understanding of what is happening in Ukraine today.Howard Aster discovered this book at the Lviv Literary Festival in late September 2021. On Friday, February 25th, 2022, that infamous day when Ukrainians woke up to the reality of the Russian war against them, the Publisher and the Author desperately made the English language book available to Mosaic Press with the hope that the world would better understand the terror of this continuing Russian war against Ukrainians.There is a powerful and courageous story here, about an author and how she wrote this book, how the book was published in Ukraine by a fearless small Ukrainian publisher and how it is now made available to English language readers.
