A story of resilience, belonging, and one young woman's determination to build a meaningful life on the margins of society.
Susan Wolfgram has no passport, no identification, and no way to prove who she is.
Born in a Russian orphanage as Tatiana Mendeeva, she spent her childhood laboring for people who used her rather than loved her. Transported across countries under a false identity and trapped in a life she never chose, Susan eventually risks everything to escape.
Alone in America, carrying secrets she cannot reveal and burdened by a crime committed in desperation, she must build a future without the documents, protections, or connections most people take for granted. Every step toward independence threatens to expose her past. Every new friendship carries the risk of loss.
As Susan searches for safety, belonging, and a place she can finally call home, she discovers that identity is more than a name, and freedom comes at a price.
The Needle in the Selvage is a compelling story of resilience, self-discovery, and the determination to create meaning from a life lived on the margins.
