Born in Belfast, Siobhan Darrow grew up in New Jersey in a home that was split between her proper Ulster mother and her Jewish father: emotional strife and poverty were a way of life.After her father died, Siobhan travelled to Russia to learn more about the father she could never know while alive. She got a rare chance to live among ordinary Soviets in the days before the fall of communism.Siobhan then took to journalism and became one of CNN's star reporters with a career that involved years of travel, hair-raising visits to war zones and disastrous love affairs. Only after coming close to death herself and witnessing one too many killings, did she finally ask herself why she was always on the run, living in a state of panic and excitement, avoiding home and family.
