ABOUT THE BOOK:
Foti penned Storm in the Land of Rain after a promise to her late-mother that she would write a book about her famous grandfather, Jonas Noreika, who was a Lithuanian WWII hero.
Silvia had no idea that in keeping this promise, her discoveries would bring her to a personal crisis which challenged her faith, unearthed Holocaust denial and exposed an official cover-up to protect the truth about her grandfather, and his involvement in massacres of Jews in Lithuania.
