Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up in the old rectory of a Dutch village with her beautiful, eccentric mother and their two endearing male lodgers', Ludo and Duco, Lucy is the popular leader of the preschool set - until a bizarre crime rocks her world. Lucy's friends turn on her, and she becomes a scapegoat. When her mother is sent to prison for murder, Lucy and her uncles leave the village to start over in the Outer Hebrides, where she soon becomes part of a gang of equally wild Scottish children. But even here, in this remote corner of the world, the past has a way of catching up with her.'
