Baltyk Star Rising

Olenka Fortuna is a typical teenager in Poland who likes to spend time with her friends, shop for clothes, and watch movies at the local cinema. When her American expatriate mother dies suddenly and unexpectedly, she leaves behind a slew of questions to which Olenka has no answers. Why did her mother first come to Poland shortly before the Iron Curtain fell? Why did she never return to the United States? Why did she avoid talking about her American family? Olenka seeks answers to these questions, but it doesn’t take long for her to realize that everyone is hiding something about her mother and American relatives. What she doesn’t know is that the truth can shatter her world, revealing secrets that can undermine her perception of her family and her own identity.
