Summary
Sonja Larsen's is a childhood in which family members come and go and where radical politics take over her mother's life and her own. As a teenager, Sonja finds herself embracing her mother's commitment to an organization known publicly as… the National Labor Federation and privately as the Communist Party USA Provisional Wing. Over her three years embedded within the NLF's national headquarters in Brooklyn, Sonja becomes the youngest member of the organization's militia and part of its inner circle. She works sixteen-hour days and soon becomes a mistress of the Old Man, the organization's charismatic leader. As she and the other members count down the days until their American revolution is set to begin, Sonja's doubts about the cause and the Old Man become increasingly difficult to ignore. 2016.
