This is Linda Lippner's unique experience working in Moscow at the American Embassy from 2003 to 2008.
During those five years, she met many people, saw many sites and endured or reveled in the many variations of Moscow weather.
Lippner writes with ease, clarity and humor about her numerous and varied experiences-taking the reader along on a most enjoyable ride.
It's an American woman's view-very up close and personal-of the soul of a great city.
