The official hammered his fist on the desk. "You lie!" He shook his head and screamed, "You are protecting someone!"Elena bit her lip and lowered her voice. "I am not lying."He rounded his desk and stepped up close to her. He bent over, staring, inches from her face, clenching his jaw. His eyes narrowed. He seethed. "You are a sly woman."Elena responded gently, "It may be difficult to say whether I am sly or maybe I am very smart."Living in remote Siberia, fifteen-year-old Elena's family has been torn apart by the Communist Revolution. Her mother has remarried after her family was targeted for their wealth--a new name not associated with capitalism. Elena has now become an attraction of a local theater and flirts with young party members. These carefree days are threatened when a mysterious man appears in her village, an exile whose controversial message sabotages all her plans and redirects her on an unexpected path that will take her far from Siberia in a country on the brink of World War II.To Elena is the true story of a young woman who learns to survive amidst the oppression of a government that shames, punishes, or kills anyone it considers an enemy of the state--anyone educated, anyone wealthy, anyone who does not conform to the government's way of thinking. Including Christians."It has been a long time since I have been so profoundly moved by a book. I was enthralled by Elena's story--from start to finish."--Paul Semenchuk, Trans World Radio."The book reads like a thriller novel, filled with unlikely faith, unexpected heroism, and moving accounts of the God's power at work amidst oppressive unbelief."--Reverend Seth Rogers
