Orphaned and outcast in her stepmother's household, Leora keeps her webbed hand hidden for fear of being sent to the Institute along with other "defectives." But is her hand a curse -- or a blessing? While it sets Leora apart as an object of ridicule, it also allows her to draw mysterious pictures, pictures that seem to have the power to predict the future.When Leora rescues a baby birmba she names Wiggala, one of a mutant interspecies the villagers have been taught to fear, she risks being imprisoned herself. It is this act of kindness that launches her on an unforgettable adventure, a journey that not only takes her into the forbidden Outside and culminates in a reunion with her lost sister, but empowers her to grow from a shy, uncertain girl into a confident leader in a new society. To Leora's great surprise, it is her webbed hand and the drawings she makes with it that lead the way. Readers will be pulled into this beautifully imagined world, and into Leora's quest to find a place for herself in it.

Ve své knize Susan Butlerová detailně sleduje vývoj vztahu dvou významných politiků – Franklina Delano Roosevelta a Josifa Vissarionoviče Stalina –, kteří spolu na první pohled nemohli mít nic společného.Co tedy mohlo svést tyto dva odlišné muže dohromady? Susan Butlerová se ve své knize podrobně zabývá vznikem a vývojem tohoto partnerství, vypráví příběh o tom, jak se vedoucí představitelé světa Západu a Východu stali více než spojenci, příběh o velkém respektu, ve kterém sledujeme jejich myšlenky, komentáře, obavy, úvahy, touhy… A to vše na pozadí klíčových událostí druhé světové války.
