WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL CORNER OF CHAOS, MEMORY, AND TRUTH
About Lana Stasek
Ukrainian-born. American by grit.
Writer by necessity.
Lana came to the U.S. with two kids —
and zero English.
She built a life. Built a business.
And in 2024, she began writing.
Not for fame. But to remember.
To reclaim what silence and sacrifice had erased in the women before her.
Dementia runs in her family like a slow fade. She writes to stop the fading.
Her memoirs — Voices Within: Family Chronicles and Life Before and After — trace not only her own story, but the echo of generations.
She writes to uncover what’s
inherited and what’s chosen.
What binds us — through family,
trauma, love, silence.
And what it takes to break the old patterns.
In every scene: psychology.
Between the lines: philosophy.
Underneath it all: something ancestral.
New Story is on the horizon!
Bella: Beyond the Bark
Yes, this is a book about a dog. But not only.
Bella spent eight years living “temporarily” — shelters, cages, strangers’ hands. And then five years living for real — with us, in a home where she was no longer called “former.”
I only knew her story from the moment she came to us. Everything before that I could only guess from her eyes, her scars, her survival habits. That’s why her “voice” in this book is a choice, not a fantasy. It’s a way to shape what I witnessed, what I felt standing beside her.
This is a book for teens 15+ and for adults who have ever felt “out of place.”
It doesn’t hand you a moral, but it leaves a mark.
It isn’t a sentimental “pet memoir.”
It’s a mirror. And maybe, in it, you’ll recognize yourself.
"True humanity reveals itself in how we treat those who depend on us. Bella: Beyond the Bark is a journey of compassion and love. A dog’s soul is the purest, her loyalty the strongest, and her truth—the kind that won’t let us betray the human within ourselves."
