The author draws on her experiences traveling around the world in the late '50's to tell this story of a teenager's post World War Two adventures. Anna's day dream of adventure becomes a reality when her mother remarries and her newly acquired, Quaker activist, Aunt Nettie, invites her to spend the summer touring Britain staying in youth hostels. On the voyage across the Atlantic Anna enjoys making friends with her fellow passengers. Nettie, however, finds herself plagued by flashbacks of her time in the French Resistance and as a prisoner of the Nazi's. The women's adventures get off to a rocky start when an anonymous threat is slipped under their door in London. The mysterious treats become increasingly ugly. As they try to elude their unknown pursuer, Nettie encounters the French lover she thought had been killed in the war and Anna falls in love with an Aussie cowboy she met on the ship. When the threats prove to be made by a serial killer, Nettie must overcome the scars of her past and Anna must flee for her life.

Born in the first days of WWII, the author lived in a dozen places before landing in Knoxville, TN. She took a degree in anthropology in the '60s, switched to psychology for graduate school in the '70s and Computer Science in the '80s. She's supported herself in laboratories and at the racetrack, as a bureaucrat and a political activist. She's owned a recording studio, flipped burgers, tried her hand at scientific illustration, housecleaning, Tarot reading, psycho therapy, subsistence farming and various crafts before becoming a professional writer. A white haired wife, mother, step-mother, grandmother, step-grandmother, and auntie, she now spends her time writing, walking in the woods of Appalachia and traveling every chance she gets.
