About the BookThe title of the book is "Life is..."Every person makes mistakes in their life, which they learn from and, of course, try not to repeat again. But there are some mistakes that cannot be corrected. Each person makes their own decisions, which can, again, result in huge mistakes being made. Or your decisions can bring happiness and good fortune throughout your life.In this book and my second book, you will meet two women who had to make hard decisions. One of these women is named Olga, and her decision changed her whole life dramatically. She turned out to be a woman who believed that her child was not needed, and this made her life unhappy.The second woman is Luda, who kept her child from a man she did not love. She decided that God had given her this child. She refused what her husband offered her, to have an abortion. She kept her child and refused to have such a husband. She knew that her child would bring her happiness and joy throughout her life. She made no mistake; she made the right decision.Two women, two decisions, and both decisions had consequences.One woman made a cruel decision in relation to her child, but with this decision, she punished not only her child, but also herself.The second woman decided to punish herself and take on all the hard consequences of being a single mother, which also isn't easy."But she was born under a lucky star," her grandfather, Peter, said.She was a single mother and had been for only three and a half years. She met a man who not only married her but also adopted her son.Luda is a lucky woman. Her whole life was based on her confident character. Hope for a bright future - that's why hope for her is very serious. Hope balanced all things: past, present, and future.

I decided to call my book "Foundling" (an infant found abandoned) because this word has haunted me throughout my life.I am a foundling. All my life, I have been haunted by such feelings as defenselessness, loneliness, fear, hunger, a cold bed, and having no one around to tell you "I love you," no one around to give you advice, or protect you. Over time, I stopped thinking about all these feelings; I just got used to living without them. I learned to hide my tears; I forgot what joy and smiles were.You will meet a girl who finds it difficult to be a child, who does not know what love of trust and happiness are. How hard it is for this girl to understand and forgive her mother and her father when they finally decided to appear in her life.Over time, I realized that I was missing three common senses: 1. That someone to hug you wholeheartedly.2. That someone to kiss you from the bottom of their heart.3. That someone to tell you I love you.And only after that, do you begin to believe in yourself, hopes for your happy future, and of course, love those who helped you understand these three feelings.It's so scary to be foundling. If I write one thousand books about it, I will not be able to describe all the problems I have, all the hurtful feelings I experienced.In this book, I put 50% of the truth, and the second half of the book consists of my dreams of a happy life.If I wrote only the truth in this book, everyone who is reading it would have only one question: How is this possible?In Russia we have a proverb: "Where you were born, there you will be useful." Do not believe in this, look for the place that will bring you happiness and love. Every person has such a place, it just needs to be found.Such a short word, life, but it contains so many feelings of experiences that when describing only one day, you could write a whole book. Believe me, I've known a few of such days, so I have to share my experience with you. Because it is impossible to keep all these moments in my thoughts. It is very interesting but if you think about it, each person has his own life story. Sometimes they are so unique and rare, that you want to share. Because the feelings we have experienced at one time, or another gave us life lessons. So, I hope that my life lessons will help my readers to properly understand the difficult moments of life.
