What I’m Up To
Help Inna’s Family Recover from Job Loss in a War Zone
Inna, the mother of precious Kira whose experience with war inspired me to publish my grandmother's WWII survival story is in need of help.
She took care of my grandmother during a harrowing time, and I would be forever grateful for any donation to assist her as she faces some serious life obstacles in the middle of a war zone.
Any donation goes a long way, and counts more than you can imagine. Check out her story below and thank you in advance for sending support to someone who deserves nothing but the best, and very near and dear to my family's heart

Book Talk with Isabella Skrypczak at Sunflower Ranch
Join us for an intimate evening of storytelling and history at Sunflower Ranch as we welcome Isabella Skrypczak for a discussion on her grandmother’s powerful memoir, A Polish Girl in Siberia.
The evening will be hosted by Albina Pozdnyakova, who will interview Isabella about the incredible journey of her grandmother, Ida Kinalska-Pietruska. We will explore the "soul and survival" found within the pages of this memoir—a testament to resilience across generations.
This event will include an interview, book signing, and a Heritage Hug tasting.
