Untold Stories of a Soviet Girl: Control to Freedom

When Veronica realized that she struggled from cultural inferiority, she decided to go on a hunt through the stories of her life to figure out the root of her belief. It made no sense why she’d feel less than the world around her: she speaks four languages and she achieved all that she’d put her mind to, yet there she was, at the bottom, questioning her identity and feeling “less than” everyone around her. She started from the beginning. Veronica’s stories start in the Soviet Union, where she was a shy, rule-following, obedient, authority-trusting Soviet Girl. As a first account witness to major historical events, she shares some unique experiences. When the Soviet Union collapsed, she was given a new national identity and was told she was a Romanian. All previous history was erased and statues disappeared. At 15 she came to America without her beloved family and has been on her journey as a first-generation American immigrant ever since. Veronica is a gifted storyteller and speaker who loves to connect with others through poetry and comedy. While writing this book, her goal was to encourage the reader through every story told while sharing the truth of those who cannot speak for themselves. Prepare to be uplifted! God bless you!
