Elena was looking for home—and love in all the wrong places. Dangled upside down out of the window of a ten-story building by two mafia thugs, Elena—a Russian woman from the Soviet Union—was at one of the lowest points in her life. Suspended mid-air, all she could think of was her son. She questions the choices she’d made in a life connected by a myriad of chaotic chapters and characters. From lead Russian actress, to partnering with one important man after the next, through the crumbling of the Soviet Union, and the hell of Perestroika…Elena was a survivor.
Still, she worried. Would she be able to make it without a man?
America and an American husband seemed to be the answer to her dissatisfaction. But was it? Russia still held the answers to what she’d been looking for. Russia was a mirror to her choices. She discovers that nothing had ever really been missing, and here begins her real journey back to wholeness, and a courageous life that spans two continents.
