A unique collection of short stories based on past events in the life of Natasha Bartula's mother, a woman born to survive, whose exceptionally unusual and difficult life is the inspiration for this eponymous narrative. Most of the stories include a fantastic almost unrealistic character living in a parallel world, but who remains highly authentic even in this realm of unusual supernatural events. These bone-chilling accounts reveal clear messages regarding the encounters of two worlds: the world above us and our earthly one.
