The ultimate road trip This inspiring adventure tale follows an American woman and her family as they drive 3,800 miles through the Soviet Union in a VW Camper. Traveling at the height of the Cold War, the Gildens were on their own in the USSR, with no guide and few road signs, following their noses on a unique-in-every-way adventure. Join the family as they struggle with the Soviet bureaucracy, come face to face with the KGB, smuggle a diamond ring, and say "Nyet " to the border guards. Whether you remember the Soviet Union or not, this book is a treat to read-smart, entertaining, and funny. You won't be able to put it down.
