Ruta Sepetys
Hello Irene -
Much of the world is not aware that Stalin deported so many people to Siberia. I wanted to write the book to create an awareness and also give voice to the people who never had a chance to tell their story. That's what inspired me to write "Between Shades of Gray."
Thank you for asking!
