What might have been a promise of paradise in the Lucky Country became a mess of red tape. Half the world and a full year away from the life she once knew, seasoned, sixteen-year-old Deirdre finds herself a fugitive from four felonies, cast into the Outback, nearly naked with no passport and all her worldly possessions guarded by two dead men.
But even this dire dilemma is not insurmountable for the indefatigable heroine. With the help of fortune, fast friends, and fair winds, she seeks solace in a variety of closed societies as she strives to reestablish herself as a free person at last.
