This book follows the destinies of Estonians who were deported to Siberia by the Soviets - their sad and bittersweet memories, brilliant ideas and remarkable achievements. The stories are told by people who were forcefully scattered across the vast and hostile landscapes but were strong enough not to be blinded by tears nor lose their mind. These people believed in their roots and homeland, they were the true descendants of Estonian epic hero Kalevipoeg who came back home and rebuilt their homes from the ruins.
