For Shame, Natasha

It's every teenager's secret dream--waking up one morning to discover that one's parents aren't as dumb and boring as they always seemed to be. Usually there's an adoption fantasy involved. But what does a kid do when he wakes up one morning and learns that that the FBI has hauled his birth parents away on charges of espionage? Especially when he's had no inkling of it? After all, spies can't risk their children taking the special super-dooper computer message decoder to school for show-and-tell.

The members of the Russian spy ring betrayed their friends and neighbors and generous host country. But most of all, they betrayed their children.
