Follow the journey of one courageous American child, who finds herself living among Russia’s homeless and manages to survive.

“Be brave…” Marine Lieutenant Ian McOwen’s last words to his 11-year-old daughter, Carly, before leaving for Iraq. A year has passed since the tragedy of his death, and Carly has begun to heal. But then comes the fateful email from Russia calling Carly and her mother to the bedside of a dying grandmother in St. Petersburg. The journey thrusts Carly into the dysfunctional life of her Russian mother’s family. Vodka and drugs escalate to an explosion of domestic violence that propels the 11-year-old out onto the streets. Alone, terrified, she hooks up with 12-year-old Peter and 6-year-old Pasha, is forced to eat from garbage cans, beg, even steal. She and her two Russian companions form a bond. Carly becomes Katerina. They sleep in train stations, in sewers, endure lice, filth and freezing weather. Together they survive. When in the end we see this brave young girl risk all to save the life of 6-year-old Pasha, we know for certain her father would be proud.

MOSKOVSKY STATION is a fast-paced, urgent, cliff-hanging novel with appeal for the young and adult audience alike.
