In this illuminating and deeply moving memoir, a former American military intelligence officer goes beyond traditional Cold War espionage tales to tell the true story of her family—of five women separated by the Iron Curtain for more than forty years, and their miraculous reunion after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

About Ready Readers

The Ready Readers book group meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, 3 – 4:30 p.m. Our meetings are “hybrid” – in person at the Scandinavian Living Center with a Zoom option for remote attendees. We read a variety of both fiction and non-fiction, chosen by the members from among books “nominated” by the members. Usually, the person who nominated the book will lead the discussion. We have always had both men and women members. New members are welcome!

The group was formed in 2013. Current leaders are Sallie Craig Huber and Charmian Proskauer.
