This is the story of a woman, a contemporary of the 20th century, spanning several decades and many countries—from Armenia, then part of the Russian Empire, to China. Tumultuous years, difficult trials, and an astonishing fate.
What is there to tell in our crazy times? With what stories can we calm its unstoppable rush toward shores we would rather not know about?
Maybe about people who refused to give up and, despite everything, remained true to themselves.
Sofia was just like that.
As a young girl, she decided to live not by orders, but by the call of her own heart.
As a young woman, she did not allow the trials fate dealt her to break her will.
As a mature woman, she returned through the years to the place she once left, to remain herself.
