Historical
Davinsky Labor Camp, Siberia, 1933: Only two things in this wretched place keep Sofia from giving up hope: the prospect of freedom, and the stories told by her friend and fellow prisoner Anna, of a charmed childhood in Petrograd, and her fervent girlhood love for a passionate revolutionary named Vasily.
After a perilous escape, Sofia endures months of desolation and hardship. But, clinging to a promise she made to Anna, she subsists on the belief that someday she will track down Vasily. In a remote village, sheβs nursed back to health by a Gypsy family, and there she finds more than refugeβshe also finds Mikhail Pashin, who, her heart tells her, is Vasily in disguise. Heβs everything she has ever wantedβbut he belongs to Anna.
After coming this far, Sofia is tantalizingly close to freedom, familyβeven a future. All that stands in her way is the secret past that could endanger everything she has come to hold dear...
