1967. Svetlana Allilyueva, daughter of the notorious tyrannical leader of the USSR, abruptly abandoned her life in Moscow. Arriving in New York, by her side is Peter Horvath, a lawyer who is sent by the CIA to escort her to America. Rootless, lonely, and bewildered by her adopted country's radically different society, Svetlana takes refuge in Arizona, makes a hasty marriage, and has a child. Floundering, she reaches out to Peter, her first connection in America. When their relationship becomes more than just professional, it unfolds under the eyes of her CIA minders. -- adapted from back cover |
