Summary
Tensions are thawing between the Soviet Union and the United States. After several decades of the two super powers being at each other's throats, it seems that the country's governments are starting to patch old wounds. However, the public is different, people still remain skeptical of each other.
Ivan attempts to cope with his identity and the constant reminder that he is a black sheep among many white ones. He’s living in what he was raised to believe was the enemy's territory, it conflicts with his trauma. Just because he wasn’t living in the Soviet Union anymore didn’t mean his fears wouldn’t follow him across the Atlantic to haunt him. He feels like an outcast, and even a traitor, despite hating his home country for the suffering he was put through. His past lingered, like the smell of cigar smoke that clung to his father’s suits.
However, during Ivan’s first year of school in the U.S., there is an American boy he meets that makes him forget certain worries.
Even if the boy is the most obnoxious person Ivan has ever had a conversation with.
; or teenager Ivan Braginsky attempts to find his true self in his mess that is his past, and possibly find love in the process.
