Leslie was inspired to write the book after attending Vera's son's wedding. She asked herself how did a poor Soviet woman wind up hosting a wedding
in the Grand Caymans? What made Vera's success possible? When she met Vera's best friend, Alla, at the wedding, she knew she had a story. Meryll leapt at the chance to write with her sister and as a historian was
