This biography of Natan Sharansky covers his entire life - from his youngest days as a Jewish boy growing up in the Soviet Union in the 1950’s to his rebellion against the repressive government, his imprisonment, and everything that came after. This is also the story of his wife Avital, who spent nine years traveling around the world, raising awareness of the plight of Soviet Jews and fighting for her husband’s freedom. This is an incredible tale of faith, resilience, and the power of fighting for what you believe in.
