Tatiana Metanova lives in a cramped apartment, sharing one room with her sister, their brother and parents.

With bombs falling, Tatiana and Alexander's love threatens to tear her family apart and reveal his dangerous secret--a secret as destructive as the war itself.Performed by Kate Burton From Library Journal In 1941 Leningrad, two sisters share everything including a passion for Red Army officer Alexander.
