"I Am Alexei" is the creation of published author, Carmen Rampogna, who was born in Austria and grew up in a small town in Northern Italy with strong family values. She graduated from the University of Udine, Italy, and moved to the United States with her husband. They have lived in various cities throughout the States.

Author Carmen Rampogna writes, "I squeezed my eyes shut and slowly reopened them, first one eye and then the other. I met Yulia's gaze again, and that peculiar sparkle was still there. Her finger had not moved. It was still touching her closed lips. Seconds later, she opened her hand, blew me a long kiss goodbye, and spoke with the air of a princess, 'Farewell, my dear and noble Alexei. You will be missed!'"
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Carmen Rampogna's new book shares the story of how education and imagination allow a child to find his inner voice.
