MEMOIRS

Lindsay Moran was a few years out of Harvard and had just finished a Fulbright grant in Bulgaria. She wondered what to do next. Why not become a spy? She had always been fascinated by the idea, so she accepted a job at the CIA. The details of the job are fascinating, especially the in-depth training on crashing cars and surviving a kidnapping. But Moran’s story is about more than just the CIA, it’s a search to figure out where she belongs in the world and what to do with her life. It’s Bridget Jones meets Alias.
