She discovers a Russian dictionary with a mysterious letter in the cover, dated from the 1930's. The book is old, almost wise. What is the story behind this small dictionary?
A woman in 1939 is traveling to Russia, a small dictionary in her luggage. It was a gift from someone dear to her, a gift that would prove to be very significant to her life.

Authors Note: this story is actually based on a Russian dictionary I bought and currently own. I'm not sure of the story behind it, so I decided to write one instead.

It's 1940, and the beautiful world thirteen year old Alina Fischer has grown up in is changing. It's hard to believe anything could change in the sleepy village of Felsental, outside of Cologne, Germany. But the world is changing, and with many strange occurrences, like the herds of people walking down the street with suitcases wearing yellow stars on their coats. Or the word "conscription", and all the terror it brings, and the extreme, sometimes desperate, loyalty to this one man, this Hitler fellow she's heard of. But Alina is just a child, or so her brother Otto says, she doesn't understand such things. She doesn't understand the red flags with the black symbols, why certain children can no longer be her classmates, why the world is being stripped of its beauty. Alina shouldn't understand, but she does. But the gift of understanding, once so valued, can be the line between life and death.Complete

A fortune teller once told Enora she'd find a man who would take her breath away. She refrained from telling her it would be literally while Enora ran for her life. Having always done what is expected of her, Enora dresses the part, only dates college boys with exemplary backgrounds, and doesn't ask questions. Not about her papa's absences or his refusal to let her set foot in her birthplace-Russia. Suffocated by the rules and unanswered questions, Enora does what she's always wanted to. She boards a plane to Moscow. She never expected to fall for a man on the way. One with unexplained wealth, tattoos on his hands, and secrets in his eyes. But it doesn't take long for his caress to become a rough grasp muffling her screams. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Unfortunately, a Russian winter is the coldest of them all, and Enora soon learns the only way to escape intact is to do the impossible and thaw her captor's heart.
