About this series
Hannah doesn't have a husband or a boyfriend. She doesn't have a mother either. Her mother died long ago. But Hannah still thinks of herself as a happy person. Mostly due to her family — her father, sister and her two uncles — who love and support her. And because she has an exciting job, with great colleagues. Which is not that common in the post-Soviet Moldova. Soon their lab will have a state-of-the-art high-resolution microscope to take their research to a new level.
And she, Hannah (who thinks her name is Victoria) must go to collect this microscope from Germany. All she needs is a visa. Which could be a challenge. But she has prepared all the necessary documents to convince the authorities to issue one to her.
The day before her appointment at the German embassy, she finds out that she won't have any issues with a travel visa, because she doesn't need one. To her utter surprise, Hannah learns from her father that she has dual citizenship, Moldovan and American. And more surprising still is one tiny additional detail he now reveals about her mother.
That she had been an American spy.

Young and resolute, still suffering from her sister's death in Vietnam, Sasha Leroy Palmer decided in the 1960's to fight the enemy on the other side of the Iron Curtain from within. Even if this meant becoming a spy. She convinced herself that her sister's death was the only reason she came here. To help her home country, the one that was truly free, to fight one that wasn't (even if it proclaimed otherwise). It was the duty of every true American citizen to resist Soviet propaganda and help weaken the force of evil. Especially since the Cuban Missile Crisis. So why then did every letter from home, secretly passed to her by colleagues in the cause, make her feel that this hadn't been the reason? That there was an even bigger one for her coming here. Hadn't she made peace and accepted her father's decision? Was she really running away from her responsibilities, as her parents insisted? And if she was, what could make her stop running? Surely not the man who caught her as she stumbled on a shaky trolley-bus in the capital of Soviet Moldova. Or could he?
