Set against the backdrop of World War II and accented by the birth,
demise and rebirth of a nation, this memoir chronicles a Baltic
refugee family's escape from Estonia to the United States. Spanning
nine decades and three continents, and incorporating an essay by
his mother, his parents' letters, and conversations with his
father, Jaak Treiman describes his family's journey and life
afterward as they sought the American dream. Even as they settled
into their new lives, they kept memories of their homeland alive by
engaging in coordinated political activities that contributed to
the break-up of the Soviet Union, including strategizing with
dissidents behind the Iron Curtain, engaging in court battles, and
attending meetings with American presidents.
