Publisher's Synopsis
Christine is intrigued by a two week cruise being offered by a local travel agent. "Half Price Cruise for Orphans." The agent explains that it is a genuine offer; the ship is properly registered and the cruise itself is backed by a guarantee (which the agency has checked) and it is offered by the chairman of the company who was himself an orphan and is making this gesture towards others who had suffered in their childhood. After an interview Christine books the cruise and makes a surprising discovery.
