Alice Avery White, name of the main character. She's been through a lot, but so much more is going to happen. The big question, what is coming, who are they, and what happened? 'It was cold, dark and was raining cats and dogs. I was trying to find a place to sleep, a bench or maybe a bus stop. I didn't really know yet. Or maybe I could find a box to sleep in - I would've been lucky if I found one actually.' Everything will make sense, but when and how?
