Russia, for decades a communist country fiercely guarded under an umbrella of total secrecy, and closed-in behind what the West came to call the Iron Curtain. David, a man who grew up during the Cold War years, had a fascination with the Soviet republics. His coincident dread and curiosity later became eager anticipation, and a decade after the fall of communism, he decided he must travel there to see for himself what surprises Russia held for him.
He embarked on a trip to Siberia, more because of his interest to visit the country than the woman he had met over the Internet, for he suspected she was not sincere. In a strange encounter, he meets with another woman and falls in love at first sight just the night before returning to Moscow.
"She had such sweetness capable of melting the hardest and the strongest. She fascinated me with her melodious voice, and her personality trapped me like a spider in its web. There was some magnetism in the way she smiled, coupled with an air of innocence and shyness that exuded truthfulness and complete absence of malice."
David narrates with vivid details his journey, accompanied by some frustrations caused by the language barrier, but full of many pleasant surprises with the people he met, as well as his fascination with Moscow's historical sites. He returned to Siberia six months later, in the winter, braving temperatures of thirty degrees below zero, to meet again with the woman he left his heart with for a romantic and lovely experience.
This is not a story about arriving at a destination, but about living life, pursuing a dream, being open to adventure, and accepting the outcome. Because after all, life is a journey and we enrich our selves when we refuse to be spectators and decide to take an active part in it.
Follow the author through Siberia and Moscow and chase after his steps with detailed descriptions of his travel experiences. Enter his mind and heart and thrill with him as he discovers that feelings know no physical barriers, and are only subject to fate and time.
