I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all my family and friends who are joining me for my Books and Bottles event. A special thank you goes to City News Cafe for their incredibly warm hospitality.

Your support truly means the world to me as I strive to help my friends in Ukraine during these challenging times. Sharing my stories is more than just a passion; it’s a way to connect and support those in my hometown who have loved ones courageously defending my homeland.

I sincerely hope you enjoyed the wine selection. The church wine, in particular, touched many hearts and inspired me to share it with even more people. 

If you're interested, the complete trilogy is available in three books on Amazon.com. I invite you to visit my website, galiciamidwest.com, where I share deeper insights about the characters and their journeys. 

Also, I encourage you to experience the warm atmosphere at City News Cafe, a true pillar of our community. Don’t miss the beautiful postcards featuring the art of Ukrainian artist Lana Husak; I believe you’ll find something that resonates with you.

Thank you for being part of this meaningful endeavor—it truly matters to those we are standing with.
