    Summary

    Ten-year-old Faina Rozanova has survived more than most children her age. She learned young how to dress herself, cook basic meals, and raise her baby brother, Grisha Rozanov. But when tragedy strikes, Faina's fragile world collapses. Suddenly orphaned, she and Grisha find themselves caught in the impersonal machinery of Russia's child protection system as they face an uncertain future in an unknown country with an Uncle who is a stranger.

    Still hiding their love from the world, Ilya and Shane must find the courage to reach across continents- and beyond their own fears- to rescue Ilya's niece and nephew and provide the pair with the understanding, love, and stability they need so desperately in a world that has otherwise demanded too much from them too soon.
