I was born in the Czech Republic in 1962 and immigrated in 1988, eventually building my life in Canada and the United States, where I became a citizen of both countries. Throughout my journey, I mastered various professions, adapting to life's demands. Writing has been my sanctuary—a profound meditation during difficult times. Now, as I embark on a new chapter, starting from scratch alongside my wonderful daughter, I am compelled to share my story with the world, honoring both my journey and the legacy of my ancestors.
