This is a true story of tyranny and the overcomers who have defied it.

Go back in time with the author to Czechoslovakia in June of 1990, right after the Velvet Revolution, the non-violent overthrow of the communist government.

After immersing herself in the culture and economic system of Czechoslovakia during this pivotal moment in history, she met, by chance, a number of incredible people, including one of the leaders of the Velvet Revolution. These people inspired her and caused her to realize that she needed freedom. Like the Czechoslovakians, she also needed to overcome the effects of tyrannical control and find freedom in her own life.
