former compatriot, a resident of Odessa (who is also innocent, unlike the heroine of the American book) — spent 15 months in an American prison. This human document is unique. Perhaps occasionally, individuals as honest, sincere, and open as she is find themselves in American prisons, but the likelihood is very slim that they are also capable of viewing everything that happens to them as an opportunity for spiritual growth, reflecting on their experiences, and conveying their insights and observations in simple, yet truthful and precise words.

The book is entirely based on documentary material.
