Love and self-awareness are the driving themes in this tale, and they aren't always where a person
thinks they will find them. Light-hearted at times, I Live for Two explores love in its many facets.
Set in the USSR during the Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev era, a village orphan boy does his
best to avoid being sent to the gulag for a past offense. In his desire to find redemption, he is haunted
by a tragic accident with his twin brother. His only saving thought is of a diva ballerina from a chance
encounter on the Siberian Express. This story explores life on the inter-continental express and the
culture of the people that work, travel, and live near it. For this boy, a porter's life is far from mundane.
Along with a host of characters who work the railroad, there are close encounters with the KGB,
Russian mafia, and nomadic tribesmen as he tries to be true to himself.
