I am Taso Papargiriou. Born in Greece, I began working at age six, building a life defined by resilience, from the Navy to the Merchant Marine, and finally to America. After profound loss, the passing of my wife and son, I locked my heart away in a “double-locked iron cage,” convinced I would never love again. This book is the true story of how Sofia Kazila, my “Angel” in Athens, reached across 9,482 kilometers and unlocked that cage. I share my story, SOFIA: AN ANGEL BEYOND THE CLOUDS, not as fiction, but as proof: a testament to the powerful, international love that gave me a second chance. If you have ever felt defeated by distance or despair, my journey is your guide back to hope.
