Inara Verzemnieks was raised by her Latvian grandparents in Washington State, among expatriates who scattered smuggled Latvian sand over coffins, the children singing folk songs about a land none of them had visited. Her grandmother Livija's stories vividly recreated the home she fled during the Second World War, when she was separated from her sister, Ausma, whom she wouldn't see again for more than fifty years.

Journeying back to their remote village, Inara comes to know Ausma and her trauma as an exile to Siberia under Stalin, while reconstructing Livija's survival through her years as a refugee. In uniting their stories, Inara honors both sisters in a haunting and luminous account of loss, survival, resilience, and love.

They were cute and stayed on for days!
Color: Set B:3 gold+3 silver
These face sparkle tattoos are great! If you apply them right, they can last several days. My first try, I got the entire tattoo wet all at once. It slid around and it ended up crooked. And because I couldn’t apply pressure to the entire area, some of the spots came off fairly easy. My second attempt was much better. I started on my nose area and then did one cheek at a time, holding it firmly in place the entire time. It was straight and everything stayed on until days later whenI used makeup remover to take it off. I really love these. I wore them for the holidays and felt fun and festive. I WILL buy them again!

Worth it!
Color: Set D:6 holographic multicolor
Great product. Great price. Used for myself and a friend for her first 5k race. I also let me 3yr old daughter wear some for her 1 mile fun run. They lasted throughout the day/race. My recommendation if you buy. Cut the single piece into 3 separate. Nose, one for each side and apply in 3 separate sections. It takes a touch longer BUT it is easier to apply. Especially if your face is smaller and it’s easier to handle.

Rave Freckles!
Color: Set D:6 holographic multicolor
I got these for a Rave. They were very cute once I figured out the best way to put them on. I had to go through 2 before I figured it out. They stayed on well (as well as any temp tattoo can). If you have trouble getting them off, just get some facial oil cleanser! They were cute and I got lots of compliments.
