Overview

With endless twists, turns and setbacks, this is one woman's extraordinary story of resilience and determination Elena's story began in communist Romania where tumultuous changes in her country and her own life forced her to flee, seeking greater freedom for herself and her children. In leaving, she risked not just herself but those she left behind, while encountering the worst and best in humanity. Danger and few options led some to take advantage of her, yet brought kindness from others. Her journey eventually took her to New Zealand. But instead of being a haven, it began a new chapter where things were not as they had appeared. Told with rawness and honesty, Elena's story is one of struggle, hope and ultimately faith-that when fate deals us a bad hand, within us we can find the power to overcome even the harshest odds.
