«Our lives are like balloons: whatever color you blow up, that's the one you'll fly on. I'll only agree to the multicolored ones.»
About the Trilogy
Three books. One life. Real.
This story is not about finding a magic formula for happiness or getting a ready-made instruction for life. No such instructions exist.
Every person walks their path by feel. Through mistakes and doubts. Through losses and disappointments. Through betrayal, fear, exhaustion, and moments when you want to give up everything. Through small victories and big dreams. Through love that isn't always simple, but makes us stronger.
These books contain no recipes for success. No right answers, no universal solutions. There is only an honest story of a person who, like millions of others, is trying to understand themselves, hold on to faith in their dreams, and keep moving forward, even when it's frightening.
These Books Are For You
- ✦If you've grown used to being strong, handling everything on your own, and have long forgotten when you last asked yourself what you truly want.
- ✦If beneath the outward success, you've discovered an exhaustion that's no longer possible to ignore.
- ✦If the fear of change is still stronger than you are, but somewhere deep inside there's already a feeling that you can no longer live the way you have been.
- ✦If sometimes what you need isn't an instruction, but the story of someone who was also searching for their path through doubts, mistakes, losses, and hopes.
- ✦If you're tired of meeting others' expectations and want to finally listen to yourself.

About the Author
Nadi Petrova
Writer, mother of three sons, and someone who knows for certain: life happens exactly when you stop trying to control it.
Born and raised in Russia. Happily married for over 25 years. By forty-five, she had achieved much of what she'd once dreamed of: building a close-knit family, running a successful business, and reaching financial stability.
"The bravest thing you can do is choose a direction — and let go of the string."
