Book excerpt: A triumphant story of determination and passion, Siberian Dream is a tale of two worlds -- one in Siberia, one in America -- and a young woman with a heart and spirit big enough to span them both. Irina's story begins amid the final days of the Soviet Union. Born into an ancient indigenous Siberian culture, she came Of age with a rich heritage of spirituality often at odds with a world in which individuality was stifled and poverty was a way of life. Picked by a talent scout to star in a Soviet film, Irina came to Moscow, then made her way to Paris where she struggled to break into the fashion industry enduring rejection because her exotic beauty was not readily accepted. Finally, in New York, she found herself embraced by the open spirit and industry of America, her struggle to survive transformed into a meteoric rise in fashion and film.
