While most Americans know of the atrocities of World War II through films such as Holocaust, Sophie's Choice, and Schindler's List, Janina Stankiewicz Chung simply knows. Her family endured life under Communist oppression in Russia, forced relocation to Hitler's hellish concentration camps, and the sorrow of losing their homeland.
And that's just part of her story.
Far East Of The Sun is a remarkable love story inspired by the deep and enduring love of her parents, their passionate belief in the dignity of all people, and their remarkable courage that sustained them throughout their tumultuous lives.
Chung has written a novel rich in character and action-packed drama. Far East Of The Sun is both a powerful moral saga, as well as living proof of the power of unconditional love.
What Reviewers Are Saying . . .
The atrocities of World War II are something that should never be forgotten. Far East of the Sun is a fictional account, but true in the regard that it is what many unfortunately went through. Chung writes a story drawing from her own unfortunate past to create a story that will educate as well as entertain. A compelling novel based on unconditional love, Far East of the Sun is a must for those would enjoy an especially well written and morally engaging story. -- Midwest Book Review
