A family’s ordeal under Soviet deportation

Set during the Soviet deportation of a Lithuanian family, the novel follows Lina, her mother, and younger brother as they are taken from home and sent toward Siberia, while Lina’s father is held apart from them. Lina uses drawings to send clues in the hope of reaching him from his prison camp. The family’s separation gives the story a focused thread through its larger subjects: forced displacement, survival, and the effort to preserve connection under repression.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction about Lithuania and Soviet deportations.
  • Readers seeking a family-centered story shaped by separation, survival, and resistance.
