Like a Lotus

Veronica seemed to have everything one would strive for in life, from a stable job to a loving partner. But when her wedding is called off and everything once secure in her life begins to unravel, she embarks on a journey across the world to start a new adventure of her own.

From running a small hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia, to getting lost in the Chinese countryside, and even climbing through the clouds in Nepal, Like a Lotus is a true story about courage, adventure, and finding home wherever you lay your head at night.

Dolls for my Daughter

Dolls for my Daughter is the story of three generations of women, their lives and survival during times of war, refuge, and never giving up hope.

The Nazi invasion of Czech during World War 2 brought death, fear, and hopelessness to the country. Already dealing with a broken heart, Marie’s only purpose became keeping her daughter Jana alive and safe.

A few years later, grown-up Jana and her family fight through the political and historical turmoil of the Russian invasion of Czech. With the dangers in the streets awakening the dark, buried memories of her childhood, Jana does whatever she can to keep her family, and daughter Pavka, safe and free; even if that means starting over in a foreign country.

  Young Pavka is blissfully unaware of the true horrors of war, but due to her mother’s only choice, she must learn to face her own fears; living life as an unwelcome refugee in a country far away from the only home she has ever known.

Throughout generations of struggle and holding onto hope, one thing always kept strong and true; the love and sacrifice of a mother’s love.
