Publisher's Synopsis
Previously published as Convergence by Meg Stone
Featured on NPR, BBC and soon to be a major motion picture, this is Elena and Meg's awe-inspiring account of escape, survival and freedom. Fleeing Russia, then crossing the planet entirely on their own and unsupported, it's a fists-in-the-air, tears-in-the-eyes, battle cry to take back your life.
"They're a true-life Thelma & Louise! This epic, real-life adventure-survival account has nothing to do with romance, physical attraction, chemistry, or sex; and everything to do with Love. Real. True. Love. The kind of love that one goes to the ends of the earth for. The kind of love one risks everything for. The love of life. The love of freedom. The love of another, of never letting go, never giving up; and more than anything, the love of self."
Meg is a rebel. Push her, and she pushes back. She takes outrageous risks, looks for thrills, throws herself into horrifying and hilarious situations... until it all becomes deadly serious. Then, everything changes. She grows up, learns what it means to love, to take responsibility, face death, face life, and the meaning she gives it. She learns to measure value in heartbeats, not dollars. In a year-long run for their lives, Meg not only rescues the deer-in-the-headlights Russian, who risked everything and crashed into her life, but rescues herself.
"What an amazing story. Such heroism and determination. Inspirational. It should be a Hollywood film!" - Peter Tatchell, UK
