About Under a Whistling Sky: A Girl’s Journey Through a War-Torn Childhood by Milica Vogt
At just seven years old, Milica dreamed only of carefree days—picking wild violets in the fields, laughing with friends, and basking in the warmth of her small village in Dalmatia, Yugoslavia. She could never have imagined what lay ahead: the scream of grenades, the shattering of glass, and the terror of fleeing home under fire. Her childhood was torn apart by war, and in its place came bomb shelters, refugee camps, and a relentless fight for survival.
With unflinching honesty, Milica offers a child’s-eye view of displacement, loss, and the unbreakable bonds of family, revealing the human cost of war and the enduring light that carried her forward.

A native of Croatia, Milica “Vidic” Vogt was twelve years old when she fled the country in 1995 during “Operation Storm,” also known as the ethnic cleansing of Serbs in Croatia.
After living in a refugee camp for a few years in Serbia, she immigrated to the United States for the best chance of safety, freedom, and prosperity. A scientist by training, after almost twenty years in corporate America, she decided to dedicate her time and energy in writing her memoir and sharing her story of struggle, hope, and survival with intentions to help and inspire others going through similar life circumstances so they can claim their strength to overcome what may seem impossible at the moment.
