Laurie Bender No Compromise

Annotation

Lyubov Anthony finds herself in a familiar situation when she is reprimanded at work for posting her beliefs on social media. She had immigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union as an older teen thirty years before because of the persecution her family faced. She had always blamed herself for that persecution because of wrong choices she made as a teen. Back then, she had justified her actions and found the road to compromise to be a slippery slope. She blamed herself for what happened next in her and her family's lives. Now she has a chance to redeem herself as she stands at this crossroad in her life. Her reflection on her past and the choices she made as a teen haunted her, and she is determined to stand up for her beliefs from now on, no matter what it may cost.2
