NEW YORK , 22 Jul (AP) \u2014 The reflections of a 12-year-old refugee from the Russian invasion of Ukraine will be published this fall. Yeva Skalietska\u2019s book is called \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know What War Is: The Diary of a Young Girl from Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Union Square & Co. will release her account Oct. 25.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone knows what the word \u2018war\u2019 means, but practically no one knows what this word really represents,\u201d Skalietska said in a statement released Wednesday. \u201cI want the world to know what we have experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skalietska\u2019s book begins with her 12th birthday, shortly before the Russians attacked on Feb. 24. She had been living in Kharkiv with her grandmother when the bombing began. (Yeva\u2019s parents separated when she was a baby, and her grandmother has raised her).<\/p>\n
\u201cShe describes the bombings they endured while sheltering underground, and their desperate journey to West Ukraine. She shares her confusion about why the Russians would attack them, since she speaks Russian and follows many of their customs,\u201d according to Union Square\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter many endless train rides and a prolonged stay in an overcrowded refugee center in Hungary \u2014 because several countries in Europe refused them entry \u2014 Yeva and her beloved grandmother eventually find refuge in Dublin, where she bravely begins to forge a new life, hoping she\u2019ll be able to return home one day,\u201d the publisher said.<\/p>\n
Union Square will donate a portion of the proceeds to Ukraine refugee organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
