Beschreibung

Kolia has sworn this is the last time she'll be lured home again by her mother, the most charming woman on earth . . . and probably the most chaotic. Her mother is a world class human rights lawyer - and a law unto herself - whilst Kolia currently spends her days joylessly tutoring the spoiled children of the uber rich. But as Kolia tries to escape her mother's gravitational pull and find her own calling in a homeland she's never visited before adulthood, she begins to wonder if she's running away - or slowly turning into the woman she's trying to leave behind.
