And when all seems lost, Lina fights fearlessly for her life and documents everything she experiences in her artwork. With incredible strength and without losing hope, Lina and her family move into a new day. But is that enough to keep them alive? A brilliant story of love and survival that will keep the memory of Stalin's victims alive for generations to come.
