What a deep respect I have for this courageous and fascinating book. The daughter's journey, driven by a need to know the truth, is told with understanding and compassion for her parents, yet never flinches in the face of the often-troubling information that is being
unearthed by her quest It has the suspense line of a spy thriller and is also an important historic document about the cold war. I couldn't put it down.
