When Malca Bernovski rides a horse offtrail in Nixon-era Washington DC, she discovers the wounded antiwar leader Gavin Hareen, prime suspect in the lethal bombing of an army truck.

From the White House to the Rockies, from the Warsaw Ghetto to the post-9/11 search of the lovers' child for her origins, this tale spans generations to delve urgent, timeless questions._________________ "Exciting, physically vivid, and romantic." -Ursula K.
