Yona's mentor, Jerusza, left her with many skills to survive and even thrive in the unforgiving forest of eastern Europe, but she also left her with many unanswered questions. Why did she kidnap Yona from her German family? Why did she tell her their names just before she died? Why did she teach Yona how to kill a man? Jerusaza said the universe was about balance, for each method of death, she taught Yona a way to dispense healing, too. She taught her many languages and how to read, but Jerusza never appreciated or answered Yona's questions. “She drank the books down like cool water and listened with rapt attention whenever Jerusza deigned to impart her secrets.” Maybe we can learn a lesson from Yona. Take people on their own terms, accept them as they are without attempting to change them. The only person any of us can change is the one in the mirror “Perhaps God gives us the answers before we know what the questions will be.” Yona was a sponge and she soaked up the learning offered to her. Will she ever meet her real family? Jerusza had said, “Lives are circles spinning across the world, and when they're meant to intersect again they do.” Yona's solitary life ends when she discovers a group of Jewish refugees fleeing from the Nazi terror in 1942. Yona's big heart also accepts a second group of Jews without hesitation, however, the first group she rescued is disgruntled by her willingness to help another group of refugees. Isn't life puzzling? Later, a conflict causes Yona to leave the refugees. She doesn't leave her caring heart behind. She runs across a nun trying to save a little girl after her parents were killed and she jumps in to help. Maria Andrzeja tells Yona, “Do not be afraid to ask questions. But you must always be sure your heart is open to hear the answers.” It is hard for Yona to realize how cruel the Nazis are! When the soldiers line up the nuns to kill them Yona is devastated! Maria tells her, “God is your father, and He is always with you.” She feels broken and helpless. How can she help? She remembers one of the refugees that had lost his family before his eyes once told her, “It's the cracks in us that make us who we are.” If you are ready for an adventure that you will not soon forget, join Kate and Sheila as they recap this unforgettable book, The Forest of the Vanishing Stars! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/recapbookchat/message

On episode 253 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are joined by astrophysicist, Beatriz Villarroel. A curiosity in the cosmos at a young age sparked a lifetime of looking up at the stars for Villarroel. This would lead her to Postdoctoral research (Nordic Fellow) at Stockholm University, Sweden, and as an affiliated researcher with Instituto de Astrof ́ısica de Canarias in Tenerife, Spain. She also serves as the Principal Investigator of the "Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations (VASCO) Project. After recently being awarded the 2021 L'Oréal-Unesco Prize For Women in Science, she continues her search for answers to vanishing stars and other luminous objects, which naturally leads to a bigger search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Today, she speaks with Chrissy and Ryan about these incredible projects, her thoughts on UFOs and the possibility of ET life, and the importance of Citizen Science as we move in to a new era of exploration, somewhere in the skies.Follow Beatriz Villarroel's work at: https://vasconsite.wordpress.com/blog/Follow Chrissy Newton on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/chrissynewtonPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HERESomewhere in the Skies Coffee: CLICK HERE Order Ryan's book in paperback, ebook, or audiobook by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodRead Ryan's Articles by CLICKING HEREWatch Mysteries Decoded for free at: https://bit.ly/3rJpbd7Opening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.
