There Will Still Be Friday. And Then Sunday

Is it possible to love someone else's child as if it were your own? What prevents the lines from converging on this plane? Why are there so many fears, stereotypes, and prejudices in this place that prevent pure love from manifesting?

The author of the book, Olha Bartysh, was looking for answers to these questions when she decided to write her own story and share her experience of adoption. The search led her to completely different challenges: how to love your inner child?  How to accept that little girl in you who longs for freedom and expression and just let her be?

"There Will Still Be Friday. And Then Sunday" is not a story about the experience of adoption and definitely not an instruction on how to act if you decide to open your home to a child. It is an exploration of the feelings of an ordinary woman who once wanted to help a child, the world, and, above all, herself. 

Fridays are the moments when we are in the darkest corners of our being when sometimes it seems that everything is lost. Sunday, on the other hand, is about restoration, the dawn after a night. A time when we find inner strength and our own path to happiness.

Why you should read the book "There Will Still Be Friday. And Then Sunday"?

The book is based on the author's autobiographical story of adopting a child and the drama of finding her own fulfillment.

The writer reveals the constant life cycle of creative torment and self-expression, the conflict of motherhood and self-realization, the ambitions of a creative person, and the suffering from unfulfillment.

This book will become a salvation and an island of understanding for many women who are faced with the question of what to choose today. Because it is time to choose yourself.
