Publisher's Synopsis
What's an intelligent teenager do upon deciding to leave home? Deirdre's answer is to wander the world on her own terms, surviving on wits, wiles, and will power. But it's not as easy as that!
Deirdre, the Renegade - Volume FIVE of the Deirdre, the Wanderer series - by Jonnie Comet. 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 will seek solace in a series of closed societies as she strives to reestablish herself as a free person at last. 'It is nought but the fear of woman's heart,
And a dream of the night, Deirdre.'
