About the Book.
Inspired by the true story of the Backers, a family of Russian immigrants who, in 1978, ferried their beloved miniature wire-haired fox terrier from the former Soviet Union to the United States, Gina from Siberia confronts the sometimes scary and often disorienting experiences of our pets as they move through life’s changes and challenges with us.
