520    "The Parrot's Perch opens in 2013, when Karen Keilt, age 
       sixty, receives an invitation to testify at the Brazilian 
       National Truth Commission at the UN in New York. The email
       sparks memories of her "previous life"--the one she has 
       kept safely bottled up for more than thirty-seven years. 
       Hopeful of helping to raise awareness about ongoing human 
       rights violations in Brazil, she wants to testify, but she
       anguishes over reliving the horrific events of her youth. 
       In the pages that follow, Keilt tells the story of her 
       life in Brazil--from her exclusive, upper-class lifestyle 
       and dreams of Olympic medals to her turmoil-filled youth. 
       Full of hints of a dark oligarchy in Brazil, corruption, 
       crime, and military interference, The Parrot's Perch is a 
       searing, sometimes shocking true tale of suffering, 
       struggle--and survival."--Amazon.com.
