WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL CORNER OF CHAOS, MEMORY, AND TRUTH
Born in Ukraine. Arrived in the U.S. with two children and no English. Built a life, then a business.
In 2024, I started writing. Not for fame, but because in my family, memory fades and silence is passed down as steadily as endurance. Voices Within: Family Chronicles and Life Before and After are about the things we carry even when they are never spoken—about internal breaks, learned survival, and the kind of strength that doesn't need instructions.
Bella: Beyond the Bark
Humans are experts at ignoring what they don’t want to see. Dogs don’t have that luxury.
This isn't a fairy tale and it isn’t meant to comfort you. It’s a story told by my dog, Bella—a witness to things people would rather forget. She watches how we leave, how we attach, and how we justify the wreckage we leave behind.
Through her eyes, ordinary human choices look very different. There is no plea for sympathy here. This is lived psychology from the perspective of someone who depends entirely on the hands of others, recording the truth before it slips away.
Three books. Two languages. One voice.

Media & Press
"Stasek’s books are vivid and unforgettable... a voice that refuses to stay quiet."
— NewsMind (Russia), Cultural Media Outlet
Release of Lana Stasek’s Book Series “Voices Within” Originally published on November 06, 2025
“The book series Voices Within began with a sharp desire to revive a family tree that had been reduced to cold lists of names and dates... What was meant to be a single memoir quickly grew into a series because memory arrives in waves, with character, and often with dark humor.”
The Critic’s Take:
-
On Style: "Direct, sharp, and at times darkly funny... Stasek’s books are not traditional prose; they are autofiction where family patterns are refracted through emotion and fate."
-
On the Narrative: "It is not a success story or a tale of magical transformation. It is the voice of a woman who went through everything—and didn’t lose her sense of humor."
-
The Verdict: "For readers unafraid to face themselves without filters. For those tired of polished stories where everyone learns neat lessons and forgives."
"A no-holds-barred memoir... written with violent honesty and openness."
— Leslie Anne Smith, Reader Views

The Highlights:
-
Authentic Voice: "This book feels like an extended conversation with someone you can’t quite believe is real. Stasek approaches each memory with raw, unapologetic honesty."
-
Deep Connection: "It’s not just a record; it’s a search for connection. Stasek maps out her memories to keep them alive for future generations."
-
Generational Impact: "A powerful exploration of how family history and inherited trauma shape us in the most intimate ways."
-
The Verdict: "Readers on their own journeys to make sense of their past will find comfort in this therapeutic and courageous storytelling. A voice that refuses to be silenced."
