Each person who calls an orphanage with bated breath has his own story: someone, waking up one day, understands that they unbearably want to help, that these children are not to blame for anything and have the right to happiness, someone... then it matures for years and on the day of “X”, with a trembling hand, he picks up the telephone receiver. The life of each of these people, expectant mothers and fathers, changes instantly from this first call. Of course it’s difficult, of course it’s scary, of course not everyone will be able to pass this exam. Tatyana Gubina’s book is a revelation, a confession of an orphanage employee. The one who - on the other side of the river - decides other people's destinies, weighing all the pros and cons. This book fills with both pain and joy, to the very edges of the soul. Behind these ebbs and flows one can see the living, nervously beating heart of a child who dreams that one day, already outside the fence of the orphanage, his real life will begin. He will be born again, in a completely different family, and will start all over again, if not with a clean slate, then at least with a red line. - Hello... Hello... We want to take a child... - Hello... Hello... Do you have children? .—Hello...Where is your orphanage?..
