Was She Still Dead In October

" When you think of heroics, singular events come to mind. Was She Still Dead turns that concept on its head. Maly's sustained courage and resolve across continents in the face of constant threats at every corner will have you holding your breath as you turn each page. Clearly the courage of a mother."

" This is the true account of one woman's struggle to provide orphaned children with loving families. She stood toe to toe with foreign governments, was betrayed by those close to her, and was immersed in the murky world of international organized crime. It's visceral, it's passionate, and it leaves the reader emotionally drained."

"An inspiring story of a mother's love and her voracious appetite to expose evil and bring home 'life'."

" The collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1900s and the endemic corruption in the ex-Soviet states, coupled with a shortage of healthy Caucasian infants available for adoption in the U.S., created conditions that allowed organized crime to exploit families whose only desire was to have children. This story describes how one woman was duped by these criminal groups and eventually helped break up a small part of the operation."
