"I should be dead. Buried in an unmarked grave in Romania. Obviously, I am not. Apparently, God had other plans." At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering 6'10" gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened -- nor would it be the last. As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceauscescu's vicious communist regime, Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted then divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land. For this act of treason, she was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. How Virginia managed not only to elude her enemies time and again, but helped expose the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceauscescu's evil empire is one of the most extraordinary stories ever told. A must-read for all generations, Saving My Assassin is the unforgettable account of one woman's search for truth, her defiance in the face of sheer evil, and a surprise encounter that proves without a shadow of a doubt that nothing is impossible with God. - Publisher.

Table of Contents

Introduction : Bucharest, Romania, 1984
Techirghiol, Romania, 1961
I vividly remember the first time I was left alone and in charge of the house
Summer's end was marked by three events that I looked forward to each year
On May 12 of my senior year of high school, I passed the baccalaureate exam
"Explain to me, please, what persona non grata means"
One Saturday I answered the phone, and to my surprise, it was Radu
By the time my midterm exams were over, I was a wreck and ready for spring break
While being a lawyer under the Communist regime did make me part of the "privileged" class, I really didn't consider myself privileged at all
"I don't want to be an attorney anymore," I announced, walking into my office
After six months of studying the Bible, I was baptized
As elated as I was to see Martin and Liviu go free, deep down I knew they were only two of hundreds, possibly thousands
With each case, the Securitate's scare tactics became more intense
To say that it had been an exhausting week would be a gross understatement
Early the next morning, I fixed my coffee, read my Bible, and waited for the alarm to wake up the girls
President Ceausescu's government worked in stealth mode
Epilogue : Dallas, Texas, 2010
A final note from the author
Afterword : A final note from my assassin
