About this listen

Some stories begin before you arrive. This one begins with a death that no one was allowed to name.Lana Stasek was that arrival — born five years later, into the space her unborn brother left behind. He was erased before she arrived. His presence stayed — in the weight she carried without explanation, in the guilt of simply being here, in the sense that she was living for two.She grew up in Lisichansk, Eastern Ukraine, in a family where trauma didn't have a name — it had a belt, a slammed door, and a grandfather who hid cash in pots while his wife slowly lost her mind. Where women faded quietly, and no one called it what it was.She eventually made her way to America with no language and no safety net, carrying all that inherited silence in luggage she never agreed to pack.But this is not only her story. It's a portrait of everyone who left a mark — the grandfather who was cruel and kind with the same hands, the friend she was "allowed" to have, the husband who existed mostly on paper, the boy nobody protected and found again thirty-five years later. People who shaped her, broke something in her, or quietly put it back together. She doesn't just remember them — she takes them apart, with psychological precision, dark humor, and the kind of honesty that makes you recognize someone from your own life on every other page.Each chapter is its own world — a person, a scar, a truth that waited too long to be said. You don't have to go in order. Neither did she.This is the kind of book that makes you pause mid-listen and think — I know exactly what that feels like. And then immediately want to call someone. Or never speak to them again.This is not comfort listening. It's the kind of honesty that makes you set down whatever you're doing and just... sit with it.Narrated by Megan Tusing (Law & Order, Blue Bloods, Person of Interest) — an actress who knows how to hold darkness without flinching and brings every layer of this story to life.
