Fiction by Alyson Richman
In 1987, Katya and Sasha are a Ukrainian couple in the USSR. Katya's recent injury has stalled her ballet career, and Sasha know he can find work in his field of biology anywhere, so when the Soviet Union offers a chance for some Ukrainian Jews to go to the USA, they take it.
In 1999, Maggie Topper is a young fifth-grade teacher with boundless enthusiasm who takes on the task of home-tutoring their American-born son Yuri whose heart condition makes it impossible to attend school.
This was a good story; I will look for more by this author.
