This adult novel is another case of a bad cover. I've been putting this book off because I thought it looked like a horrible, boring Russian novel. But it wasn't. It's about Sasha, a Jewish, 1/4 black Russian girl who has a baby by the age of 15. Her mother ships her off to art school in Moscow so that Sasha can find a better life, and her mother claims the baby as her own. So, how does a Russian girl escape? Through Kupid's Korner. Sasha comes to America to marry an Arizonan businessman. Luckily, the papers aren't signed. Even though she is in America, Sasha is surrounded by Russian immigrants who are willing to help her. More than what should happen to a teenager does in the next two years to poor Sasha.
