She had been surrounded by white walls her whole life. At least, that's what she thought. *** No one could imagine a fate worse than being labelled a Castaway. Being exiled from everything you've ever known just doesn't have a very nice ring to it. Add that to a most probable death and you've got yourself a very unappealing situation.

An odd boy, a shocking revelation and a sudden quest to find herself definitely weren't on the agenda.
