Winner of the Chris d'Lacey Endeavour Award for writing in 2017, Kristina brings her passion for writing coupled with a unique insight into a previously unexplored part of world history. A part of history that isn't taught in schools or explored by tv documentaries. And yet it changed the lives of millions of people and ended the lives of millions of their relatives.

The daughter of Polish parents, she has researched this book and its sequel thoroughly over ten years, casting about internationally and also hearing first hand accounts. This she has skilfully woven into an explosive account of a significant world changing period of WW2, with the desire that this story will furnish descendants of these people with an explanation of their missing family history and inform the world of the truth of life in the Stalin era, in the hope that such events should never happen again.

Kristina lives in England with her husband and two cats. She also enjoys sugar craft, painting in oils and gardening. Find more about Kristina Freer on her Facebook page Kristina Freer - Author
