Blue House: Ten Years on the Way Home

Blue House: Ten Years on the Way Home tells the struggles, traumas and tragedies of a family in the former USSR during Stalin’s reign, pre-WWII. Dispossessed of the happy home and wealth they built through their own sweat and labor, they were forced to withstand horrors and hardships as their daily bread…when there was any bread. Their arms were their pillows; their consciences were their best friends. Silent soul-pain and physical pain did not dim their faith, for their spirits, minds and love endured. “Educate your spirit and mind to be strong. Walk firmly and confidently,” states first-time author Veronica Braila. “Believe in better times, no matter what.” And Braila’s blue house became the haven of hope that held this family’s hearts.
