Jennie Liston’s memoir is a depiction of a life that is fully lived and is truer than fiction. It is a powerful testimony of God’s grace in her life experiences, written with honesty and personal vulnerability.
In a fast-moving life story, the author depicts events in war-torn Germany seen through the eyes of a child, running from bombs and the horrors of WWII, adjusting to a new life as an immigrant in America, and facing the struggles and challenges of her childhood and adolescence.
Jennie exposes the reality of her relationships, the agony of separation from a spouse fighting in Viet Nam, and the difficulties of dealing with a returning stranger who has seen death all around him.
It is also a historical description never before documented of the Soviet Union as it falls apart, as countries such as Ukraine gain their independence, told by a CIA analyst standing in the midst of Soviet crowds…of working in Moscow after the disintegration…and of returning to her native Latvia fifty years after the Iron Curtain closes, opening to a world no longer her place in the sun.
