Stateless

By: Allison Giddens

Narrated by: Lynn Larsh

In 2004, Kate Granger is a freshman from New Orleans with a sharp mind and a clear belief in the promise of democracy. At an international student gathering, she meets Dmytro Sokolov, a brilliant, guarded student from Ukraine whose history stretches uneasily between Kyiv, Moscow, and the United States.

Their connection is immediate, and their future together seems possible.

Over the years, as Kate builds a life shaped by public service and Dmytro remains tethered to obligations he cannot fully explain, the bond between them is tested by secrets, divided loyalties, and the pull of history itself. What begins as a love story grows into something far more complicated, forcing Kate to confront how easily conviction can bend when it collides with love, grief, and the need to believe the best about someone you chose.

Set against real geopolitical events, Stateless is a gripping and thought-provoking novel about identity, loyalty, and the consequences of the choices we justify.
