Dogs That Tame People

What is it like to grow up under the constant threat of shelling in a frontline town in eastern Ukraine?
This young adult novel, written by a volunteer author, explores this question, delving into the important issues of tolerance, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychological rehabilitation of children who have become forced witnesses to war. The novel is based on interviews with teenagers from frontline areas, who are the main characters of the book. They share their experiences, talking about how they survived shelling in basements, how they learned first-aid skills, and how they built relationships with their peers.

This novel is not just a story about war. It is a sincere story about youth, about self-discovery, about friendship, first love, and about how to preserve humanity in the most cruel times.
