And this time, I mean it… A few words from me. The heroes of this book are verbose; they have a lot to say, so I won't add as much myself. Besides, this particular book can be described as paradoxical or very troubled. It started one dawn; just as I had decided to stay away from my computer for a long time, to go into… a long-term rest… It was five in the morning when I opened my eyes and saw my husband looking at me, and naturally I was very worried… I will share the dialogue exactly as it happened, so you won't have any questions. "George, why aren't you sleeping?" "I've been thinking all night… I got an idea for a book!" "Are you going to write a book?" "No! You will write it! I got the idea watching ads for people buying jewelry! Imagine, then, a woman who enters such a store and wears a piece of jewelry, which the jeweler recognizes. It was made by someone in her family… probably… I'm not sure… But this jewelry has a story!" he concludes. "What do you think?" As he was speaking, both sleep and the decision to rest had gone for a walk! "You liked it!" he proudly states. "And now it's your turn to stay awake! Good night!" He turned to the other side and fell asleep while I… That's how the idea of the Letter from Gold was born in my mind. I must admit that this jewelry exists. It is his gift, a special order, which unfortunately, due to theft, is no longer in my hands! However, the novel is now yours! The second adjective I used to describe this book is troubled… It was abruptly interrupted when the person who gave me the idea fell seriously ill. You already know this now; I announced it to you along with everything else concerning me. As we said: You and I have a different relationship, one that you honor and I respect. I can tell you one more thing from here: I have never been so scared in my life… Along with him, the reason I exist was at risk of being lost… The important thing is that we are well
