Sergei Kourdakov, a former KGB agent and Soviet naval intelligence officer, defected from the USSR at the age of twenty. A year later we met at my Federal Government office in Washington DC. We were watched and followed. “Even you could be spy,” Sergei whispered. My book, A Rose for Sergei, is the true story of our time together.

Editorial Review from Owen R. O’Neill, Author of the Loralynn Kennakris Series

“Moving and trenchant, this memoir about a most unexpected encounter that led to an improbable romance at the height of the Cold War is both heartrending and heartwarming.  Told in a straightforward and unflinching style, Ms. Kidd chronicles her relationship with Soviet defector Sergei Kourdakov in prose that is immediate, unaffected, and poignant.  It is a captivating story that imagination could not invent, but two hearts did.  Highly recommended.”

    Emily you’re right, it is a really nice review!! Mr. O’Neil is a physicist, a writer, and an amateur historian. I’m honored that he read my book and took the time to write this editorial review. Thank you for passing my book to your friends, I’d love to hear what they think and/or answer any questions.
