Since Toni, Valerie, and Ellie were little girls growing up in  Communist Russia, their parents have insisted it’s simply further proof  that the Kozlovskys are special and different.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Now a crime  and justice reporter, Toni lives on a yellow tugboat on Oregon’s  Willamette River. As far as her parents are concerned, the pain of their  old life and their dangerous escape should remain buried in the Moscow  they left behind, as should the mysterious past of their adopted  brother, Dmitry. But lately, Toni’s talent for putting on a smile isn’t  enough to keep memories at bay.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Valerie, a prosecuting  attorney, wages constant war against the wrongs she could do nothing  about as a child.
