When eight-year-old Anya is selected, her family is thrilled. What is left of her family, that is.

Anya's only confidant is her neighbor, an older woman who survived unspeakable horrors during her ten years imprisoned in a Gulag camp--and who, unbeknownst to Anya, was also her mother's confidant and might hold the key to her disappearance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Anya rises through the ranks of competitive gymnastics, and as other girls fall from grace, she soon comes to realize that there is very little margin of error for anyone and so much to lose.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRae Meadows\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of four previous novels, including \u003ci\u003eI Will Send Rain\u003c\/i\u003e.
