I have always been a fan of stories of our history involving true stories of family members, and what they have gone through, their experiences from the lives.

"From the pages of Grandfather's Life" is exactly that, I'm not going to tell you much of this little gem except that I think that you will enjoy it too.
Thank you so much Author Viv Drewa for sharing your family history with us.

In nineteen-thirteen, when Lucjen finds out that he will be drafted into the Russian military, and forced to fight his friends and neighbors for the Russian Czar. He and his friend Franciszek, join twenty other people in an harrowing escape to the Americas.

Ms. Drewa's short story of her grandfather's escape holds all the fear, terror, and hardship one would expect if they themself were living through it.

I hope that Ms. Drewa turns this suspense filled story into a novella. This brief glimpse into the times leaves one begging for more.

Kudos to Viv Drewa for taking on the telling of her grandfather's journey. A must read for both history buffs and those who love adventure, and suspense.
