The family ties were cut off at one point and I only have a few photos and mementos left that were passed on. As a history geek, I would want to know his story. (less)

Quotes by Elena Shelest  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“To release the tension in her chest, Miray took a big breath of the warm midsummer air. After the morning thunderstorm, it was filled with the sweet aroma of cedar trees and the earthy scent of moss. This old forest was the only place where she could be herself, never rejecting her as people did. Its leafy arms were always open.”
Elena Shelest, Enchanted Forests

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.
Harvey MacKay”
Elena Shelest
