Summary: Two kids living comfortably in Washington, DC, in the 1990s are best friends, though Sarah is shy and withdrawn while Jenny Jones is a Breck girl, sassy and pert. On a lark, they write to Yuri Andropov, the Soviet head of state, asking for world peace. He responds but only to Jenny, inviting her to the USSR. Jenny vaults to media stardom. The girls draw apart, but life goes on--until the Jones family perishes in a plane crash. Years later, in an offer to share memories, a Russian friend of Jenny's invites Sarah to visit. Sarah, with several painful defections already behind her, learns in boomtown Moscow that the Soviet propaganda coup had dark consequences for the Jones family.
