Description

One Star Away tells the true story of Ziuta's family, whose lives were forever changed when Soviet soldiers arrived at their home in Poland. Imogene Salva reconstructs her mother's wartime experiences to shed light on a lesser-known aspect of World War II history.

The book follows Ziuta and her family as they face starvation, arctic temperatures, and separation in the slave labor camps of Soviet Russia. A chance encounter with a kind-hearted Maharaja from India may hold the key to their survival.

Imogene Salva's personal connection to this story adds depth and authenticity to the narrative. As a first-generation American-born Pole, she brings a unique perspective to this thought-provoking true-life account of human compassion in the face of adversity.
