About this ebook
Follow the journey of one courageous American child, who finds herself living among Russia’s homeless and manages to survive.
“Be brave...” Marine Lieutenant Ian McOwen’s last words to his 11-year-old daughter, Carly, before leaving for Iraq. A year has passed since the tragedy of his death, and Carly has begun to heal. But then comes the fateful email from Russia calling Carly and her mother to the bedside of a dying grandmother in St. Petersburg. The journey thrusts Carly into the dysfunctional life of her Russian mother’s family. Vodka and drugs escalate to an explosion of domestic violence that propels the 11-year-old out onto the streets. Alone, terrified, she hooks up with 12-year-old Peter and 6-year-old Pasha, is forced to eat from garbage cans, beg, even steal. She and her two Russian companions form a bond. Carly becomes Katerina. They sleep in train stations, in sewers, endure lice, filth and freezing weather. Together they survive. When in the end we see this brave young girl risk all to save the life of 6-year-old Pasha, we know for certain her father would be proud.
MOSKOVSKY STATION is a fast-paced, urgent, cliff-hanging novel with appeal for the young and adult audience alike.

Like the main character in her first novel, Watch Over Thy Child, she was brought up in the Episcopal church during the fifties and sang in the children's choir. Her inspiration to write came in high school when she surprised everyone, including herself, by winning the Bishop's School creative writing club contest. Four years later she graduated with a degree in English Literature from UC Berkeley. After pursuing a career in computer programming, she returned to her true love... writing. Cathy lives in San Diego, California with her husband Barry, a child psychologist, and has one son, Nicholas Carter, who is a commercial real estate appraiser in the San Francisco bay area.
