This humble book that you hold in your hand started out as a diary, written on scraps of paper, and in notebooks that were cobbled together and hidden from view by a lonely, displaced little girl. Katarina B. Viktor filled the pages of her secret book with her thoughts, ideas and musings. She would even wake in the middle of the night with inspired thoughts that she wrote down on any bit of paper she could find, including "sticky notes". When boredom struck on mundane activities like riding the bus, Katarina's imagination would soar and she kept adding to her writings. Recording her tumultuous feelings and observations of life's simple joys and beauties provided Viktor with an escape into the world of imagination. As Katarina gradually developed what became an unshakeable faith in God, the spiritual aspect of her poems deepened. Katarina's diary became to her more than an inanimate object. It was a friend she could confide in. Yet the biggest allies in Katarina's life became God, The Lord Jesus Christ, and the beautiful man she met and built a life with, at the point she was most broken. Reading this book is not only a journey into Viktor's own life. It is an astute observation of the lives of others, of studies on nature and a tribute to Katarina's strong faith. No matter what your beliefs, there is a deep humanity and appreciation of life to be found in these poems.

Katarina is of Russian parentage. She was born in Germany but now resides in Sydney, Australia, after migrating at the age of 6. Upon landing in Australia, her family were placed in a camp in Cowra, along with other migrants of many different nationalities. During her time there, Katarina, who already spoke Russian, became fluent at German, Polish, Latvian and, of course English. Katarina's family were forced to live in a tin shed, that was later sold for use as a chook pen. She became accustomed to living in a red- back spider infested environment and often encountered snakes on the way to her beloved school. Her saving grace was education. Katarina was encouraged and well-liked by her teachers. After this, her family moved to Sydney, where she was subjected to racist bullying and a difficult environment. She was spurred on by her academic achievements, she found solace through her drawing and writing and was encouraged by pivotal figures in her life. More than anything else, her faith in God caused her to turn her life around, and ultimately led to the creation of this book.
