NJ, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Kiril Kristoff, recipient of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, invites readers on a sweeping journey of heritage, faith, and perseverance with the release of Crossing Borders & Generations: One Man’s Journey to Search for His Ukrainian, Greek & Bulgarian Roots.

Already named a Finalist for the 2025 International Impact Book Awards in both Fiction and Historical Fiction categories, Kristoff’s novel continues to gain international recognition. It has also earned distinction from the Indies Today Awards (2024) and has been celebrated in The Philadelphia Journal for its contribution to Bulgarian immigrant literature in the diaspora.

Story Overview
Crossing Borders & Generations follows the intertwined lives of Grandpa George, a courageous Bulgarian immigrant, and his grandson Alex.

George’s narrative begins with leaving behind the shadow of communist rule, struggling through the challenges of assimilation, and working his way up in America. His determination leads to the opening of his first auto repair shop, Nick’s Auto Repair, on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, a story that mirrors the perseverance of countless immigrants pursuing the American dream.

The novel takes a dramatic turn when a tragic accident leaves both George and Alex in comas. In this altered state, they encounter guiding spiritual forces, including Saint George, while confronting darker presences, such as Vasiliy the demon and a Bolshevik ancestor intent on erasing their legacy. These supernatural trials serve as bridges between past and present, reinforcing the endurance of family, faith, and cultural identity across generations.
