Description Jennie Liston's memoir is a depiction of a life that is fully lived and is truer than fiction.

It is a powerful testimony of God's grace in her life experiences, written with honesty and personal vulnerability.

In a fast-moving life story, the author depicts events in war-torn Germany seen through the eyes of a child, running from bombs and the horrors of WWII, adjusting to a new life as an immigrant in America, and facing the struggles and challenges of her childhood and adolescence.

Jennie exposes the reality of her relationships, the agony of separation from a spouse fighting in Viet Nam, and the difficulties of dealing with a returning stranger who has seen death all around him.

It is also a historical description never before documented of the Soviet Union as it falls apart, as countries such as Ukraine gain their independence, told by a CIA analyst standing in the midst of Soviet crowds.

of working in Moscow after the disintegration.

and of returning to her native Latvia fifty years after the Iron Curtain closes, opening to a world no longer her place in the sun.
