Stalina Paperback / softback
by Emily Rubin
Paperback / softback
Description
After the fall of the Soviet Union, Stalina Folskaya's homeland is little more than a bankrupt country of broken dreams.
She flees St. Petersburg in search of a better life in America, leaving behind her elderly mother and the grief of the past.
However, Stalina quickly realizes that her pursuit of happiness will be a hard road.
A trained chemist in Russia, but disillusioned by her prospects in the US, she becomes a maid at The Liberty, a "short-stay" motel on the outskirts of Hartford.
Able to envision beauty and profit even here, Stalina convinces her boss to let her transform the motel into a fantasy destination.
Business skyrockets and puts the American dream within Stalina's sights.
A smart, fearless woman like Stalina can go far...if only she can reconcile the ghosts of her past.
Obsessed with avenging her family while also longing for a new life, Stalina is a remarkable immigrant's tale about a woman whose imagination-and force of personality-will let her stop at nothing.
