A clever, funny memoir from a young woman who fulfills her Mission Impossible dreams by joining the CIA, only to discover that the life of a spy is not at all what she expected. Lindsay Moran was a bright-eyed, idealistic Harvard graduate who hoped to serve her patriotic duty while living a life shed first dreamed of as a child watching James Bond movies and reading Harriet the Spy. After applying to the CIA and passing lie detector tests, background investigations, and psychological screenings, she soon found herself in training at the Farm, learning how to crash cars through barriers at a hundred miles an hour, not to mention how to withstand interrogation. But she was simultaneously learning that the life of a spy wasnt nearly the glamorous-not to mention principled-job she thought it would be.
