In the world of elite dance, she works hard, falls in love, and weathers the Soviet Union's ubiquitous antisemitism, but despite an impressive talent, she quickly learns that dancers of her "profile" don't make prima ballerinas. Love of Leningrad, ballet, friends, family, and books sustain Dinah until history intervenes. The Soviet war in Afghanistan, the rise of perestroika, and a re-emergence of Nazism leave her vulnerable and exposed. Realizing escape is her only option, she applies for refugee status in America. Dinah's adjustment to life in the US is a test as much of her identity as of her perseverance. Is who she is something Dinah can forge on her own? Or is identity imposed by upbringing, public opinion, and the myths of our cultures? As Dinah struggles with the questions of religion, race, and worth, her choices and the people she encounters will determine whether the dream of a better life can survive the weight of the past. "Adams' novel reminds us that the eyes of the immigrant and the artist alike can make the familiar seem strange and the strange familiar."
