To the Reader No matter who you are or where you live, I would like to thank you for an opportunity to present this book to you. It is the historical romance novel. Through a struggle for truth of a main character Bronius Adomaitis, you will be able to get a glimpse of life of common people in Lithuania during Stalin's era. Through eyes of other characters of the novel, you will be acquainted with the lifestyle, hardships, and traditions of ordinary people there. Pain and excitement are in the book, and feelings good or bad, despair and joy of creation are portrayed in it, as well. My intention of this book was to give you an opportunity to learn something new about the history of the small country in Eastern Europe. Enjoy With all gratitude and love I have for you, Jurate
