The Communist’s Daughter

Dunyasha McDougald, 15, struggles to fit in at her new high school. Bookish, opinionated and fond of going to nuclear disarmament marches she’s not exactly possessed of traits that make teenage girls cool. Matters are only made worse when her father, Ian, a card carrying Communist, decides to run in the upcoming election. Whether he’s offering her friends rides in his rusty Soviet army vehicle or getting them to silk-screen signs for his campaign, the results are always the same – Dunyasha is embarrassed and convinced she will never fit in.
