(4) YA In 1982, college student Laura travels to Russia to study but becomes involved in a romance with a young Russian man. Laura struggles to decide if he really loves her, or if he's using her to escape the oppressive Communist regime--as she and her fellow American students have been warned. The story's premise and unusual setting helps offset the occasionally flat writing.
