Life on the Run: One Family's Search for Peace in War-Torn Ukraine

This is a gripping memoir of a family who twice fled Putin's war in Ukraine; first to Kyiv from Eastern Ukraine in 2014, and then out of the country altogether in February 2022, when the author and his family shared the fate of millions of refugees driven out of their cities and villages by the Russian invasion. The story follows the family as they search for calm in Poland, and their eventual return to Kyiv.

This is not a hate-filled recounting of their experiences--despite ongoing attacks. Instead, it focuses on the moments of love, friendship, unity, courage, and faith that Ukrainians have experienced since the onset of the war. While war can be experienced as an out-of-control fire, it can also bring forward the healing warmth of kinship.
