An Improbable Life recounts Rashkovsky's father's childhood as a Jew in the post-World War II Soviet Union facing totalitarian oppression, deep poverty, petty harassment, discrimination, service in the Red Army during the Six-Day War in 1967, and his extraordinary escape to Israel in 1972. With the return of a totalitarian, imperialist Russia and the disturbing rise in antisemitism, Rashkovsky's story is all too relevant to today's struggles. Here is an impossible true story of what can be, indeed, possible.

Dr. Karine Rashkovsky, PhD. is the proud daughter of a brave man whose memories laid the foundation of An Improbable Life. With a French first name, Russian last name, and West Coast abode, her own trans-continental story is but a thread in a wider tapestry of incredible intergenerational tales--legend-worthy anecdotes that pull heart strings, offer laughs, and reveal tidbits of tantalizing history. While she has long been the author of a variety of published works, Karine is also an award-winning entrepreneur, educator, academic, artist, speaker, and executive coach. She currently resides on the west coast, where she spends her time exploring history, nature, and nerdy podcasts.
