STERLING, Ill., Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Stephen Berley's new book,"Niketa" is a gripping work that describes how the day Niketa saved his cousin everything changed. He was on top of the world one day, but then life began to change—changes that led to the betrayal of his brother, a serious injury, death, and his running away from his family and himself.
Berley has written "Niketa" to honor his Father, Niketa Berlinetz, (Americanized to Nick Berley,) one of the millions of immigrants who helped build our wonderful country. Stephen was born and raised in Chicago with his parents and seven siblings. Stephen was in the City Management profession for 47 years, 33 years as a manager, assistant and intern, and 14 years as an Advisor to cities, counties, and his peers. He currently lives in Sterling, Illinois with his wife Diane who was born and raised in Moline, IL.
Stephen Berley writes, "'I have been thinking that when we get to St. Petersburg, I will help your cause, but then I will take a ship and sail to America. I have an uncle who lives in Detroit, a city in the middle of America, where I can go. I have not seen Uncle Boris for years, and he has always written that he wanted us to visit. I will be welcomed there. America is a wonderful place where I can make a new life.'"
Published by Page Publishing, Stephen Berley's riveting story details how Niketa did the one thing he always did when confused. He ran away. But life as we know it has many twists and turns, and in Niketa's life, it became disastrous.
Nikita ran away from his family and traveled to Minsk where he believed his grandfather would help him find himself and the answers he was looking for. On his journey to Minsk, Niketa met William, a young university student who was a Bolshevik and had recently escaped from a Russian Gulag. William had been trying to change the world in tsarist Russia, and Niketa became enthralled with William's ideals.
However, Niketa also found that a Cossack captain was tracking William, and it seemed as if the captain always knew where they were going. The captain was also a fiend, a thug from the Gulag who would stop at nothing to find William and take him back to the Gulag—dead or alive. Although Niketa found understanding with William and a way out of some of his problems, he also found more hurt and death.
Readers who wish to experience this intriguing book can purchase "Niketa" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
