Asya's Laws – Lessons in Love Lost and Found takes readers on an Eastern European woman's courageous journey from young adulthood in her Communist homeland of Riga, Latvia to the promise of a new life after immigrating to America. Far from the fairy-tale voyage of which she dreams, hers is a pilgrimage that tests the very limits of her endurance, character, love and passion.

Asya's unfailing tenacity and personal strength lead her through death, betrayal, divorce, and heartbreak to find comfort and hope once again. Each of these twists of fate teaches her a lesson that shapes her existence. By following her heart, Raines develops laws to guide her through life's ups and downs – Asya's Laws.

She shares her laws in a voice that resonates with emotion and honesty. From the joy of a lover's first kiss to the outrage of religious discrimination against her Jewish culture to the devastation of a husband's betrayal, Raines recounts tale after compelling tale of love, anguish, renewal and strength.

This unforgettable work will bolster your spirit and nourish your soul.
