Rock and a Hard Place: A Lithuanian Love Story is the true story of a farm boy and a city girl, born in prosperous Lithuania, in 1930. The country they love is slowly being taken over by Russia. When they are nine, Russia invades their country. Both families flee to spend years as refugees. It's a story of heartbreak for the Baltic nations and the refugees caught between the Russian invasion and the German betrayal while communism nips at their heels; a rock and a hard place.
I had a wonderful couple of years interviewing this couple, listening to their stories, seeing their photographs and artifacts. They couldn't imagine anyone would want to hear their stories. Readers, you are about to be part of their amazing love story. From their happy childhoods, through their chaotic teen years as refugees, to their first look at the Statue of Liberty, their faith, courage and determination will swell your heart with pride and love. This is the story of millions of immigrants who brought that faith, courage and determination with them and created our mighty nation of the post World Wars. Unfortunately, it is also a story of current events, as this history, this week, repeats in Ukraine.
