Publisher's Synopsis

After she is taken to hospital in an unconscious condition, her brother, who hadn't seen her for fifteen years finds her diary. It describes in detail that as a fifteen year old schoolgirl, she ran off with a school teacher and married him in Gretna Green only to be left deserted, pregnant, moneyless and homeless. She roams the streets and is taken into a nunnery but leaves when her baby dies. From then on, in great despair, she almost takes her own life until fate takes a hand. Eventually, she goes to Mexico and steals a great deal of money from a drug cartel before being pursued by them to Israel. She escapes by becoming a nurse with Medicins san Frontieres in Southern Sudan working hard in a refugee camp before being captured by rebels but she manages to get free. Her life then moves to another dimension but that is only a part of the story. This is a roller-coaster ride through a life lived under extraordinary circumstances. A thriller, a romance, a story of hope and redemption.
