Summary:
The child of Jewish immigrants, Ethel Greenglass grows up on New York City's Lower East Side; she dreams of being an actress and a singer but finds romance and excitement in the arms of the charming Julius Rosenberg. Both are ardent supporters of rights for workers, but are they spies passing atomic secrets to the Soviets? As she faces the electric chair in 1953, she tells her story through an imagined series of poems.
