Her War / 2nd edition. Wersja ukraińska

Is there room for love and empathy in the shattered basements of Mariupol, ravaged by Russian forces? Can the appreciation for moments spent with a loved one outweigh the sorrow of losing them to the war? What fuels the strength to aid those escaping occupation, knowing that your own son faces unimaginable trials at Azovstal? And what is the experience of bringing new life into a world overshadowed by the sounds of gunfire, with no utilities at home? This book gathers the stories of twenty-five women—military personnel, medics, volunteers, journalists, and IDPs—who have either endured captivity or are waiting for the release of their loved ones. Despite facing profound loss, they possess immense strength and love to share with the world.These narratives are steeped in pain: relentless shelling, hidden shelters, injuries, explosions, and death. Yet, they are equally filled with light: gratitude, faith, kindness, love, and most importantly, hope. Each story stands alone in its uniqueness, yet collectively, they reflect our shared experiences of war, our communal wounds, and the hopes that bind us together.
