They met and fell in love on the very first day of the war. And this great separater forced them apart for years—Alexandra, the son of American communists who moved to the Soviet Union, and the Russian girl Tatyana. Alexander never considered this country his own, but he went to fight for it and fought bravely—until he was arrested and sentenced as a spy and a traitor. There was no hope for justice, and any other verdict was more terrible than death… By a miracle, Tatyana manages to escape to the West. She begins a new life in New York, but cannot forget her beloved, though she is… almost sure that he is dead. Between them there seems to exist an invisible connection. To find his trail, a fragile woman undertakes the impossible… Can despair be overcome and fate changed using only the power of love?
