Publisher Comments:

In this moving memoir, Irina Pantaeva tells her remarkable story — from a childhood in a remote town in Communist Siberia to an overnight success as the first Asian supermodel in New York City. "Siberian Dream" is a triumphant story of determination and passion, a tale of two cities — one in Siberia and one in America — and of a young woman whose spirit might have been crushed by poverty, Communist oppression, and racism, who found the courage to make her impossible dream come true.
