Incredible story that changes your own life for good..

Lara's story is something special to me.. And it will become special to everyone who reads or listens to it. It is absolutely impossible to stay indifferent while you live through her smiles and tears, love and pain, hard work and determination! Listening to it gives a new experience of perception of the story. Once you start it, you aren't able to stop! The words perfectly take shape into pictures in your head. You get happy and sad, joyful and worried. You feel admiration and pride.. This story is an inspirational treasure for the world. And it gave me one sense more - of a great gratitude to Lara!
