Based on author Dorothe Kress's personal experiences, this is a thriller of a story. Kristina has grown up in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Being a model citizen, the Secret Police, Stasi, has been only quietly frightening background noise to her. But when she falls in love with an American man, she discovers just how all-powerful, intimidating, and aggressive a police state can be for those who challenge the system. A great read that you will not want to put down. This compelling love story is inspired by the author’s own file the Stasi kept on her.
