The Wrong Side of Freedom

A testament to the indestructible human spirit, The Wrong Side of Freedom follows the journey of an immigrant from Eastern Europe as she steps into the unknown with nothing but determination and a dream.

From her start as a black-belt judoka in Bulgaria through her amazing-and sometimes terrifying-journey to become an American citizen, The Wrong Side of Freedom weaves a breathtaking story of perseverance-pushing through barriers, defying expectations, and finding strength in the face of adversity.

Resilience forged in struggle. Hardship transformed into triumph.

Galina Slavova no longer fears the fire-she is the fire. Even breast cancer could not break her.

Through her raw, honest descriptions, incredible storytelling, and a strength of spirit that leaps off the page, The Wrong Side of Freedom reads more like a novel than a memoir.

Time and again, through survival, Galina finds new purpose. And now her journey is bigger than just one person's story.

A percentage from each sale of this book goes to the Blossoming Beyond Foundation, which provides critical support to cancer patients and survivors-giving them the strength, resources, and hope they need.

So no one fights cancer alone.
